Metabolic liver function in humans measured by 2-(18)F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-galactose PET/CT–reproducibility and clinical potential

BACKGROUND: PET/CT with the radioactively labelled galactose analogue 2-(18)F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-galactose ((18)F-FDGal) can be used to quantify the hepatic metabolic function and visualise regional metabolic heterogeneity. We determined the day-to-day variation in humans with and without liver diseas...
