Abstract

Target designs are presented for production of 11C, 13N, 15O and 18F by proton and deuteron reactions. Seven targets of two basic configurations (gas and water) and their respective manifold and control systems are detailed with design specifications and operational characteristics for the production of 11C-CO 2, 11C-HCN, 13N-NH + 4, 15O-O 2, 18F-F − and 18F-F 2 precursors. Short irradiation times (5–20 min) and high current (30 μA) are used to produce near theoretical quantities of labeled PET precursors.
