Abstract
A self-shielding device for the synthesis of radiopharmaceuticals was developed and fabricated in this study. Radiation exposure was minimized by the self-shielding of the kit, installation of the disposable kit in the auxiliary chamber while in a shielded state, and discharge of the kit into a radioactive waste container upon completion of the synthesis process. The developed self-shielding synthesis kit was tested by synthesizing 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ([18F]FDG) in order to verify its performance.
