Initial evaluation of [18F]-FACBC for PET imaging of multiple myeloma

Abstract Rationale Multiple myeloma (MM) cells synthesize large amounts of paraproteins, making radiolabeled amino acids promising candidates for PET imaging of MM patients. Methods We compare tumor uptake of the two amino acid analogs [18F]-fluoroethyltyrosine and [18F]-FACBC in a MM xenograft mode...
