DEVICE FOR PRODUCING 18F-LABELED COMPOUND, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING 18F-LABELED COMPOUND

摘要

According to the present invention, an introduction control unit (10) introduces neon into a nuclear reaction container (10a). An irradiation control unit (11) causes the neon to undergo a nuclear reaction by irradiating the nuclear reaction container (10a), to which the neon is introduced, with gamma rays (R) for a predetermined time. An adjustment control unit (12) guides the neon, which is discharged from the nuclear reaction container (10a) and contains 18F and 18Ne that are nuclides generated after the nuclear reaction, into a flow path (12a) providing a connection between the nuclear reaction container (10a) and a synthesis container (13a), and adjusts the flow rate of the neon in the flow path (12a) or the length of the flow path (12a) to retain the neon in the flow path (12a) for a predetermined time until the 18Ne is converted into 18F. A synthesis control unit (13) reacts the 18F contained in the neon after the retention with a liquid compound C, having a hydroxyl group substitutable with the 18F, in the synthesis container (13a) to synthesize a 18F-labeled compound.
