The most stable artificial radioisotope is 11 C, which has a half-life of 20.3402(53) min. All other radioisotopes have half-lives under 20 seconds, most less than 200 milliseconds. The least stable isotope is 8 C, with a half-life of 3.5(1.4) × 10 −21 s. Light isotopes tend to decay into isotopes of boron and heavy ones tend to decay into ...
3 kwi 2019 · This can easily be understood by considering that the ratio between the total mass of a 11 C-labeled precursor (carbon-12 and carbon-11) and the precursor for labeling typically is in the order of 1/100.
In this review paper, we first briefly introduce some basic principles of PET imaging of cancer; we then discuss principles of carbon-11 radiochemistry, focus on specific advances in radiochemistry, and describe the synthesis of C-11 radiopharmaceuticals developed for cancer imaging.
