T Hale in Medications and Mothers Milk 2008 pg 387
Fludeoxyglucose F18 used for PET scans
L 3
" At 9 hrs 97% of the readioisotaope would be decayed away ( reference 
given).  It is likely that after 12 hrs, almost all readioisotaope would be 
decayed to almost background levels.  REcommneded pumping and dumping of 
breastmilk after the procedure for at least 12- 24hrs."

Hope this helps
( I accidently found this info as I was re-reading info on Fluconazole, the entry 
before Fludeox... and I happened to see uses: PET scan)
