Fluorine-18 (18F) and halogenation prosthetic groups: (a) 18F is the most widely utilized positron emission tomography radioisotope and has been applied to several nanoparticle (NP) formulations. Si-FASH, 4-(di-tert-butyl[18F]fluorosilyl)benzenethiol. (b) Radioiodination and bromination can be readily accomplished for gamma emitting (123I, 125I) and positron emitting (124I, 76Br) radiosotopes.
