PET Imaging of Hepatocellular Carcinomas: F-Fluoropropionic Acid as a Complementary Radiotracer for F-Fluorodeoxyglucose

PET Imaging of Hepatocellular Carcinomas: F-Fluoropropionic Acid as a Complementary Radiotracer for F-Fluorodeoxyglucose

Objective: To evaluate the preclinical value of 18 F-fluoropropionic acid ( 18 F-FPA) and 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose ( 18 F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) for imaging HCCs. Methods: The 18 F-FPA and 18 F-FDG uptake patterns in 3 HCC cell lines (Hep3B, HepG2, and SK-Hep1) were assessed in vitro...
