Molecular imaging of tumor metabolism has gained considerable interest, since preclinical
studies have indicated a close relationship between the activation of various oncogenes and …

O-(2-[18F] fluoroethyl)-l-tyrosine (FET) is a promising tracer for PET that has demonstrated
convincing results especially in the diagnostics of brain tumors. In contrast to other …

18F-FDG PET plays an increasing role in diagnosis and management planning of head and
neck cancer. Hybrid PET/CT has promoted the field of molecular imaging in head and neck …

Background Amino acid transport imaging with 18F-FDOPA PET is increasingly used for
detection of glioblastoma recurrence. However, a standardized image interpretation for 18F …

Patients with squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) of the head and neck are increasingly
treated nonsurgically. Imaging plays a critical role in helping define the targets for radiation …

Preferred treatment strategies for advanced-stage squamous cell carcinoma of the head and
neck have shifted from surgery to organ-preservation approaches such as radiotherapy …

The aim of this study was to explore the differential diagnostic value of PET using the amino
acid O-(2-18F-fluoroethyl)-l-tyrosine (18F-FET) in patients with newly diagnosed solitary …

The availability of specific imaging probes is the nuclear fuel for molecular imaging by
positron emission tomography and single-photon emission computed tomography. These …

Radiohalogenated α‐amino acids are a diverse and useful class tumor imaging agents
suitable for positron emission tomography and single photon emission computed …

Amino acids are required nutrients for proliferating tumor cells, and amino acid transport is
upregulated in many tumor types. Studies of radiolabeled amino acids in animals and …
