"F-18 fluoride ion is created in a cyclotron and then converted via an automated chemistry module into F-18 FDG. Specifically, F-18 FDG is produced through a nucleophilic substitution reaction, using the F-18 fluoride by nuclear reaction 18O (p,n) 18F starting from water (H2O) enriched with oxygen-18."
