The present invention relates to new synthetic methods, systems, kits, salts and precursors useful for medical imaging. In some embodiments, the present invention provides compositions comprising an imaging agent precursor which can be formed using the synthetic methods described herein. An imaging agent can be converted to an imaging agent using the methods described herein. In some cases, the imaging agent is enriched in 18F. In some cases, an imaging agent including salt forms (e.g., ascorbate salt) can be used to obtain an image of an area of interest in a subject, including, but not limited to, the heart, cardiovascular system, cardiac vessels. , brain and other organs. |
