PACS: 28.60.+s; 87.Jw INTRODUCTION At present, Ukraine's medical institutions that use radionuclide diagnostics have developed a critical situa- tion due to the almost complete absence of radiophar- maceuticals (RFPs) of domestic production based on radioactive nuclides (isotopes). Although most of the diagnostic tools are pharmaceuticals based on techneti- um 99m Tc, a significant (and in some cases determining) role in the diagnosis of various diseases is allocated to RFPs, "labeled" ultrashort-living (UKZH) radionu- clides: 11 C, 13 N, 15 O, 18 F. These positron-active radionuclides are widely used around the world as sources of 511 keV annihilation gamma radiation for positron emission tomographs (PET). The undeniable merit of the PET method, using the UKZh-isotopes, is that, by providing the operation of electronic equipment with high loads (10 5 …10 6 s -1 ), high spatial resolution and a low level of radiation ex- posure to the patient (fraction of rad) is achieved, and itself the examination procedure lasts a few minutes. Unfortunately, at the moment there is no universal drug that could detect all tumors, so in PET diagnostics there is a very large number of drugs. The use of UKZh- isotopes isotopes for labeling RFPs administered to a patient provides two main advantages over other types of radioisotope diagnostics. First, the label with these isotopes, including the iso- tope 11 C, (unlike the isotopes 99m Tc or 123 I used in SPECT) does not change the chemical properties of the RFPs, therefore they are functional analogues of natural metabolites, and the distribution in the body of appropri- ately selected RFPs adequately reflects parameters of the studied biochemical process and/or the functional state of the organism. Secondly, the short half-life of these iso- topes allows multiple studies of the same patient, which is of fundamental importance for receptor studies. 1. APPLICATION OF RADIOPHARMA CEUTICAL (RFP) 2-FLUORO [ 18 F] -2-DEOXY-D-GLUCOSE (FLUORODEOXYGLUCOSE, 18 F) It is worthwhile to consider more closely the use of the 18 F isotope as a radioactive "tag" when creating RFP for PET diagnostics. Tumors are different in nature and have different cellular composition, and, consequently, have different properties. Unfortunately at the moment there is no universal drug that could detect all tumors, therefore in PET diagnostics there is a very large num- ber of drugs. But among the multitude there is one, the most universal, which works on a large spectrum of tumor pathologies  it is fluorodeoxyglucose or FDG is a molecule of glucose in which one hydroxyl group is replaced by of radioactive fluorine  18 F (Fig. 1). Fig. 1. Molecule of glucose and molecule FDG How does it work and why does FDG accumulate? Shorter: glucose is energy! All cells need energy, and the cells of the tumor need energy especially, because they quickly divide, and for this, the cells of the tumor need a lot of energy. Therefore, tumor cells accumulate a much larger amount of glucose, and consequently FDG. For this reason, in the PET study, we can see where the tumor cells are located. It should be noted, that unfortunately this drug is able to detect not all tumors. It depends on the charac- teristics of the tumor. For example, FDG works great for most lymphomas, many lung tumors, intestinal tu- mors, breast, melange and many others, but the diagnos- tic value of FDG in prostate cancer is extremely low. A similar situation with a low diagnostic significance of FDG is observed in most neuroendocrine tumors. Similarly, the capabilities of the device are limited and we can not identify one or more cells. The resolu- tion of the device is limited and the PET study can visu- alize tumors ranging from 4…6 mm. 2. PET RESEARCH Consider PET/CT studies with FDG, since studies with this drug are about 80 percent of all PET research in the world. The first of the presented slides (Fig. 2, top) shows a pure positron tomogram, next  a com- bined PET/CT image. It can be seen that in this case there is no pronounced pathology. Molecule FDG Molecule of glucose C6H12O6 ISSN 1562-6016. ВАНТ. 2017. №6(112) 134 Fig. 2. PET/CT image of the patient On the slide (Fig. 2, on the bottom)  a patient with Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple black dots (or red on the next slide) show the affected lymph nodes. It should be noted that the color solution depends on the specific doctor and does not affect the diagnostic value of the study. How to determine the pathological accumulation of the drug on PET/CT and what is SUV? PET allows not only to see the tumor process, but also to carry out cer- tain measurements. If in X-ray computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measure- ments are performed in centimeters (millimeters) to determine the size of the pathological site. The intensity of accumulation of the drug in the pathological organ  SUV (STANDARDIZED STAGE OF RADIOPHARM PREPARATION ACCUMU-LATION) is determined in PET diagnostics. It should be noted that there are different SUV pa- rameters and different units of measurement, so in the description protocol there should be a link explaining this data. Fig. 3 shows, for example, a PET image of the pa- tient's liver patch in a situation with an increased inten- sity level of the 18 F isotope. Fig. 3. SUV=11 Thus, this parameter shows how many RFPs accu- mulated in the volume of the tumor focus. What is it for? First, there are threshold values for which doctors are oriented, for a conditional differentiation of the norm and pathology. Second  the change in SUV against the background of treatment helps doctors to conclude on its effective- ness. That is, if the treatment of SUV is reduced against the background, then the treatment works and vice ver- sa, by how significantly the SUV changes, a conclusion is made about the continuation or change of therapeutic tactics. 3. EXPERIMENT In the world, a technique for obtaining the 18 F iso- tope is widely used by irradiating protons with energy 10…20 MeV water enriched with a stable isotope of oxygen 18 O according to the reaction 18 O(p, np) 18 F, which makes it possible to obtain fluorinated com- pounds, for example, fluorodeoxyglucose, 18 F. The task of this study at the initial stage was to de- termine the feasibility of the 18 F isotope production by the photonuclear method at various linear accelerators of electrons existing in the NIC "Accelerator" (NSC KIPT AN NASU). As a criterion, the specific activity of aqueous solutions, containing the isotope 18 F, was de- termined, which is formed as a result of irradiation of target matrices from fluoroplastic (fluoropolimer) (C2F4) by a gamma-ray beam from a linear electron accelera- tor. An experimental verification of this possibility was carried out at accelerators: LU-10, «EPOS», LU-40m. 3.1. ACCELERATOR LU-10 The study of the 18 F isotope production on the LU-10 accelerator was carried out, using the output device schematically depicted in Fig. 4. The output device includes the Bremsstrahlung con- verter K, the Ф1 filter (4 duralumin plates 2 mm thick each) and additional polyethylene filter Ф2 with a thickness of ~ 50 mm. Target M1 includes two capsules of duralumin, into which a coiled film of fluoroplastic with a mass of 1.020 g is placed in water (distillate)  in one capsule in the other  a coarse-grained powder of fluoroplastic with a mass of 1.000 g. Two pieces of dosimetric film are placed on each capsule from the side of the beam. The target M1 con- ISSN 1562-6016. ВАНТ. 2017. №6(112) 135 sists samples of In, Au, Cd, Hf and Sn, used for dosime- try of bremsstrahlung of the accelerator. At the accelerator LU-10, a mode of 12…13 MeV is obtained at the maximum of the spectrum. An output device is installed according to the exper- imental design. Fig. 4. The circuit of the output device The targets were irradiated with a scanned beam with a mean current of 200 μA for 30 minutes. Results of the experiment: 1. Weight loss of each ampoule was 0.5 g. 2. The activity (according to the isotope 18 F) of an aqueous solution of 1 cm 3 , extracted from the capsule with the film (C2F4) was 1.85 KBq/g. 3. The activity (according to the isotope 18 F) of an aqueous solution of 1cm 3 , extracted from the capsule with powder (C2F4) was 1.66 KBq/g. 4. Considering the different amount of water in the capsule, we can conclude that the isotope 18 F is more efficiently released to the aqueous phase from the pow- der. 5. The neutron flux measured by Au-threshold de- tectors was: fast neutrons  4.4910 5 ns -1 , slow neutrons  2.2310 6 ns -1 . 3.2. ACCELERATOR "EPOS" The scheme of the experiment is shown in Fig. 5. The accelerator worked in the mode of scanning an electron beam: energy  25 MeV, Іav= 450 мкА, the time of irradiation is 110 min. A Pb converter, 10 mm thick, was used to obtain the flux of gamma rays, which was placed just before the irradiated capsule. The current density on the converter is 0.25 μA/cm 2 . . Сapsules of duralumin, fluoroplast and copper filled with water and fluoroplastic in the form of a film with a thickness of 20 μm and coarse-grained powder were irradiated. To cool the capsules, a "rainwater" flow of water was technologically used. Fig. 5. Irradiation geometry The results obtained in the irradiation geometry shown in Fig. 5 during the exposure time 110 min, at E = 25 MeV and Іav = 450 μA: - the activity of 18 F in the aqueous phase is 4.110 4 Bq/g; - the activity of 18 F in the matrix film is 1.0110 6 Bq/g; - the activity of 18 F in the plate-matrix is 1.0510 6 Bq/g. The yield of the isotope 18 F in water was 4%. 3.3. ACCELERATOR LU-40m The study of the 18 F isotope run on the LU-40m ac- celerator [1] is performed in geometry irradiation of the capsule-target containing fluorine plastic, depicted in Fig. 6. Fig. 6. The irradiation scheme of the capsule-target at the accelerator LU-40m with water cooling of the converter and capsule Irradiation regime: energy-36 MeV. The average current Iav=4.8 μA. The irradiation time is 30 minutes. Converter: Ta (4 plates with gaps total thickness 4mm). Target: capsule of fluoroplastic (C2F4), filled with fluo- rine plastic film with a thickness of 20 μm (weight 1.82 g) and water (mass  1.27 g). The total mass of the capsule in the collection: be- fore irradiation  30.48 g, after irradiation  30.27 g. The "mass defect" of the capsule after irradiation is explained by the leakage of heated (up to vapor) water from the capsule. 1. After irradiation, an aqueous "concentrate", acti- vated with the 18 F isotope, was extracted from the cap- sule, with a mass of 0.225 g. 2. The small amount of the extracted "concentrate" is explained (presumably) by the "absorption" of water by a fluoroplastic film, under the action of irradiation (visually it looked "swollen"). Total mass of the capsule in the collection: before irradiation  30.48 g, after irra- diation  30.27 g. The "mass defect" of the capsule after irradiation is explained by the leakage of heated (up to vapor) water from the capsule. 3. Specific activity of the 18 F isotope contained in the aqueous medium, calculated for the 60 min irradia- tion with regard to: the irradiation time, the measure- ment time, the change in activity during the measure- ment time and the "holding" (or cooling) time was equal 1.4210 6 Bq/g. ee¯̄ Сapsule «EPOS» Accelerator Pb ЛУ-10 e- К Н2О Ф1 Uсм Ф2 М1 E 100 220 220 ISSN 1562-6016.

The total factor for increasing the amount of iso- tope 18 F in the aquatic environment can be ~ 10 4 . With the activity of the 18 F isotope in an aqueous medium amounting to ~ Curie, we can speak of "open- ing opportunities" that provide the creation of the phar- maceutical preparation "Fluodeoxyglucose, 18 F" СONCLUSIONS 1. As shown by the conducted studies, at the linear accelerators of electrons available in the NSC KIPT, the production of specific activities of the 18 F isotope in an aqueous medium (~ Curie) sufficient to create RFP "Fluorodeoxyglucose, 18 F" is possible only under the condition of optimizing all the factors that determine the amount of the 18 F isotope. 2. One of the main factors ensuring the value of the 18 F isotope under the conditions, described above, is the current density on the target. REFERENCES 1. M.I. Aуzatsky, V.I. Beloglasov, V.N.
