Purpose The role of image-guided thermal ablation techniques for the nonoperative local
management of painful osseous metastatic disease has expanded during recent years, and …

The preclinical development of anticancer drugs including immunotherapeutics and
targeted agents relies on the ability to detect minimal residual tumor burden as a measure of …

PET with [methyl- 11 C]-choline ( 11 C-choline) can be useful for detecting well-differentiated
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that is not 18 F-FDG–avid. This study was designed to …

Altered choline (Cho) metabolism in cancerous cells can be used as a basis for molecular
imaging with PET using radiolabeled Cho. In this study, the metabolism of tracer Cho was …

Purpose Choline-based radiotracers have been studied for PET imaging of hepatocellular
carcinoma (HCC). Using an 18 F-labeled choline analog, instead of the 11 C-labeled native …

Stem cells, such as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), contribute to bone fracture repair if
they are delivered to the injury site. However, it is difficult to assess the retention and …

Purpose Methionine (Met) could be a useful imaging biomarker for the diagnosis of hepatocellular
carcinoma (HCC), as demonstrated by PET imaging with l-[methyl- 11 C]-Met. In HCC …

… to estimate the average corn (maize, Zea … of corn (F c ) used to map the Corn Belt at three
intensity levels, for example. The resulting patterns illustrate a mostly contiguous Midwest Corn …

Purpose Radiolabeled methionine (Met) promises to be useful in the positron emission
tomography (PET) imaging of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, its metabolic routes in …

The clinical utility of positron emission tomography (PET) imaging for liver cancer applications
is not clearly defined either for diagnosis or treatment assessment. Previous clinical …
