Abstract:BackgroundRadiolabeling is critical in complex chemical reactions involving positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer production. The process is now automated within a synthesis module to enhance efficiency and reduce radiation exposure. The key to this automation is the use of radiation detectors to monitor radioactivity transfer and ensure the progression of reactions. However, the high cost of these detectors has motivated the need for a more affordable alternative.PurposeThis study aimed to develop a … Show more
