Abstract: The invention relates to methods for synthesizing compounds on solid supports. The invention also relates to synthesizing labeled compounds, such as those used in the field of radiopharmaceuticals. The invention relates to methods for synthesizing halogenated radiopharmaceuticals such as fludeoxyglucose (also known as fluorodeoxyglucose or FDG).

Abstract: A tumor treatment apparatus may include an array of collimated CZT detectors configured to intersect a known coordinate and measure gamma radiation activity, for example at 511 keV. A radiation delivery system may be configured to direct radiation through the known coordinate on the basis of the gamma radiation activity. A translatable and rotatable table may be configured to support a tumor host, wherein the tumor is positionable relative to the known coordinate on the basis of the gamma radiation activity emitted by the tumor and measured by the array of collimated CZT detectors. Radiation from the radiation delivery system may be delivered to the tumor at the known coordinate, and may be delivered in an intra-operative surgical environment.

Abstract: A method and system for performing automated quality control analysis of a plurality of radiopharmaceuticals are provided. The method includes uniquely identifying each of the plurality of radiopharmaceuticals, and identifying and implementing a tailored quality control program for each of the radiopharmaceuticals. The method further includes automatically performing a plurality of selected quality control tests for each of the radiopharmaceuticals based on the tailored quality control program, and collecting information produced by the plurality of selected quality control tests.

Abstract: A method for forming an organic or partly organic switching device. The method comprises depositing layers of conducing, semiconducting and/or insulating layers by solution processing and direct printing. Then, high-resolution patterns of electroactive polymers are formed by self-aligned formation of a surface energy barrier around a first pattern that repels the solution of a second material.
