Recommendations for selection of additives for stabilization of [F]FDG.

In this work, two relevant recommendations were established for selection of stabilizers for suppression of radiolysis of [F]FDG. First, the stabilizing effect could be enhanced using selective scavengers of hydroxyl radicals (OH). Additionally, the initial radiochemical purity could be retained due to compounds with rate constants of their reactions with OH (k) higher than 10 M s.
