Lab-on-a-chip Devices for Production and Quality Control of Dose-on-demand Radiotracers
Nicole Pamme,

Positron Emission Tomography is
a medical imaging technique that relies on the selective distribution within
tissue of radiopharmaceuticals such as [18F]FDG. Microfluidic devices have been
identified as attractive technology for the synthesis and processing of these
pharmaceuticals due to small amounts of radioactivity handled at any one time,
leading to lower shielding requirements and potentially enabling the synthesis
of one dose at a time near the patient, a “dose-on-demand”.
