Mannose triflate is a well-known precursor for 18F-FDG synthesis for PET applications. The binding of 18F to the mannose triflate has been carried out via SN2 nucleophilic substitution reaction. It is used in computational tomography, an imaging technique in early detection of cancer.
Other Notes
This formulation of mannose triflate has reduced trace impurities that are known to cause lower synthetic yields.
Many automated radiosynthesizers for producing positron emission tomography (PET) probes provide a means for the operator to create custom synthesis programs. The programming interfaces are typically designed with the engineer rather than the radiochemist in mind, requiring lengthy programs to

High specific activity is often a significant requirement for radiopharmaceuticals. To achieve that with fluorine-18 (18 F)-labeled probes, it is mandatory to start from no-carrier-added fluoride and to reduce to a minimum the amount of precursor in order to decrease
The clinical use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) has proven to be a strong diagnostic tool in the field of neurology. The reliability of these methods to confirm clinical diagnoses has guided preclinical research to
Many pathophysiological processes are associated with proliferation, migration or death of distinct cell populations. Monitoring specific cell types and their progeny in a non-invasive, longitudinal and quantitative manner is still challenging. Here we show a novel cell-tracking system that combines
