Abstract The Service Hospitalier Frédéric Joliot (SHFJ) (CEA‐Orsay, France) has been a stimulating interdisciplinary research platform in medical imaging for almost half a century and particularly in the field of positron emission tomography (PET). In this context, PET chemistry, the driving force in molecular imaging, has occupied the front stage, especially where it concerns the short‐lived radioisotopes carbon‐11 and fluorine‐18. In this review, important marks left by the SHFJ actors over the years will be highlighted. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
