Advantages of L-3-[(18)F] fluoro-alpha-methyl tyrosine over 2-[(18)F]-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose in detecting liver metastasis during positron emission tomography scan
PURPOSE: We aimed to assess the usefulness of positron emission tomography (PET) using the amino acid tracer L-3-[18F] fluoro-alpha-methyl tyrosine (FAMT) in detecting metastatic liver lesions compared with 2-[18F]-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG). METHODS: We included 24 patients with liver metastases w...
