Figure 3. — 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.
