Lanthanide-doped upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) transform near infrared light (NIR) into higher-energy UV and visible by multiphotonic processes. Owing to such unique feature, UCNPs have found application in optical imaging been investigated for the NIR activation of prodrugs, including transition metal complexes interest photochemotherapy. Besides, also function as magnetic resonance (MRI) contrast agents positron emission tomography (PET) probes when labelled with radionuclides 18F. In...
[<sup>18</sup>F]CF<sub>4</sub>and [<sup>18</sup>F]SF<sub>6</sub>are produced in a cyclotron target under proton irradiation. [<sup>18</sup>F]CF<sub>4</sub>is suitable for assessing lung ventilation.
