Enriched Water-H{sub 2} {sup 18}O Purification to be Used in Routine {sup 18}FDG Production

Abstract

Oxygen-18 enriched water has been recovered from IBA (Ion Beam Applications) recovery system followed by purification and then used in the production of {sup 18}F-. The purification process has been carried out by irradiation with UV followed by a distillation under vacuum. After purification, 95% of water is recovered and organic compounds, radioisotopes, trace metals and gases are eliminated efficiently. Results show that there are no significant differences in (2-deoxy-2-[{sup 18}F]fluoro-D-glucose ([{sup 18}F]FDG) production yield using purified water by the proposed method and new enriched water. Tritium was detected in the irradiated enriched water. Contamination precautions during purification should be considered. Tritium was not present in {sup 18}FDG or Na-{sup 18}F final products.
