[(18)F]tetrafluoroborate as a PET tracer for the sodium/iodide symporter: the importance of specific activity

BACKGROUND: [(18)F]BF(4)(−), the first (18)F-labelled PET imaging agent for the sodium/iodide symporter (NIS), was produced by isotopic exchange yielding a product with limited specific activity (SA, ca. 1 GBq/μmol) posing a risk of sub-optimal target-to-background ratios (TBR) in PET images due to...
