General description

Water-18O is an isotopic analogue of water.

Application

Water-18O is an isotopically modified water, which is appropriate for PET applications.
It can also be used:
  • In paleoclimatology, hydrology, and plant ecology to determine soil stable oxygen isotope analysis of plant cellulose using δ18O.
  • To determine the diffusion of moisture into crystals using secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS).

By first labeling molecular oxygen and then body water with 18O in a rat, Lifson measured the 18O abundance in expired CO2 and found the oxygens in CO2 exchanged with the oxygen in water. Indeed, these two oxygen containing species were in rapid isotopic equilibrium due to the actions of what we now know is carbonic anhydrase (Lifson, 1966)

Labeled isotopes used as target materials in imaging have provided insights into the various mechanisms of human physiology and have lead to treatments for diseases. Water-18O is used for the production of 18F radionuclides, such as 18FDG (Fluoro-deoxyglucose). 18FDG used in PET and with other imaging technologies, such as CT/SPECT, has led to the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of diseases, including lung, liver, and brain tumors, epilepsy, and Alzheimer’s.
