Product Images Fludeoxyglucose F 18

This is information related to Fludeoxyglucose F 18 Injection, USP, a radioactive diagnostic agent used for intravenous administration. The injection comes in a multiple-dose vial with an activity range of 0.74 GBq/mL to 14.8 GBq/mL (20 mCi/mL to 400 mCi/mL). It is sterile, non-pyrogenic, and should be handled aseptically. The product has a half-life of 109.8 minutes and must be stored upright in a lead-shielded container at 25°C. The dosage should be calculated based on the calibration date and time. Manufacturing is done by BANE Health in Grand Rapids, MI, USA.*

This document provides information on the decay of positron (B+) emitting particles at a rate of 9% per disintegration. The emitted gamma radiation of energy 96.73 keV and 2498 keV is produced by positron annihilation, as detailed in D.C. Kocher's Radioactive Decay Data Tables from 1981.*

This table provides information on the radiation attenuation of 511 keV photons by lead shielding with different thicknesses. The coefficient of attenuation for each lead thickness is listed, showing how effectively the lead material reduces the intensity of radiation passing through it.*

This is a decay chart for Fluorine F 18 showing the fraction remaining over time. The fractions listed are 1.000, 0.909, 0.826, 0.683, 0.500, 0.250. The chart includes a calibration time reference point.*
