Red and yellow arrows represent the PCa and urinary bladder, respectively. (C and D) Autopsy specimens of prostate of OPCT rats used for FACBC microPET (C) and FDG microPET (D) imaging studies. PCa region is represented with a red dashed line.

(B) Time course of anti-18F-FACBC (n = 3) and 18F-FDG (n = 1) uptake ratios of PCa to muscle, PCa to blood, PCa to pancreas, and PCa to bladder.
