¹⁸F-fluorocholine appears to be a useful PET/CT tracer for the detection and surveillance of HCC. Here, liver lesions are seen on maximum-intensity-projection PET/CT images obtained with ¹⁸F-fluorocholine but not with ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT. ¹⁸F-FDG appears somewhat more sensitive at detecting other liver malignancies, and performing PET/CT with both radiopharmaceuticals seems to be the best option.
