Abstract

Cerebral damage secondary to the vasospasm due to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is an important cause of morbid-mortality. We propose the use of the PET tracer [ <superscript>18</superscript> F]Fluoromisonidazole to visualize the hypoxia due to the vasospasm. On the other hand [ <superscript>18</superscript> F]Fluoromisonidazole synthesis process was optimized, avoiding HPLC purification using SPE cartridges instead, and reducing some synthesis steps. [ <superscript>18</superscript> F]Fluoromisonidazole in vitro stability was tested for ten hours, and in vivo PET/CT images showed higher cerebral uptake in hemorrhagic animals than in control rats.<br /> (Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Ltd.
