PET imaging of hepatocellular carcinoma with anti-1-amino-3-[ 18 F]fluorocyclobutanecarboxylic acid in comparison with l -[ S -methyl- 11 C]methionine

ConclusionBoth [18F]FACBC and [11C]Met showed uptake in HCC through the use of a clinically relevant animal model of woodchuck HCC. The uptake and retention of [18F]FACBC and [11C]Met depend on their metabolism and also rely on the distribution of their principal amino acid transporters.
