[F]Fluoroacetate Positron Emission Tomography for Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Metastases: An Alternative Tracer for [C]Acetate?

[F]Fluoroacetate Positron Emission Tomography for Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Metastases: An Alternative Tracer for [C]Acetate?

[ 11 C]Acetate (ACT) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is useful in the detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to evaluate whether [ 18 F]fluoroacetate (FAC) could be an alternative analogue of [ 11 C]ACT for the diagnosis of HCC. [ 18 F]FAC was synthes...
