Because of great sensitivity, high resolution, and rapid detection, positron emission tomography （PET） imaging is becoming one of the most used imaging techniques for medical diagnose and pre-clinical studies. Here we provide a review on molecular imaging and PET imaging. An introduction is also provided on ~SF-fluorine labeling techniques for the preparation of PET imaging probes. A summary and comparison of currently available ~SF-fluorine labeling methods is provided. The per- spectives for 18F-fluorine labeling techniques are also given.展开更多
