Diagnosis of Brain Tumors Using Amino Acid Transport PET Imaging With 18F- Fluciclovine: A Comparison Study With L-Methyl-11C-Methionine PET Imaging
Objective(s): 18F-fluciclovine (trans-1-amino-3-[18F] fluorocyclobutanecarboxylic acid, [FACBC]) is an artificial amino acid radiotracer used for positron emission tomography (PET) studies, which is metabolically stable in vivo and has a long half-life. It has already been shown that FACBC-PET is us...
