It was initially… Continue Reading…
Background [11C]Choline is a PET tracer that is metabolized as a building block of cellular phospholipid membranes. This tracer provides contrast in areas of increased metabolism, and is used in the diagnosis of prostate, bladder, colorectal, esophageal, lung and brain cancer. Description 11C-Choline (11C-CH) is a generic PET radiopharmaceutical (Carbon-11… Continue Reading…
Description 13N-Ammonia is a very short half-life tracer used in cardiology. It is, in the majority of cases, obtained from local production in centers that do have access to an in-house cyclotron equipped with dedicated targets. Japan is the major market using 13N-Ammonia, as a consequence of the very high… Continue Reading…
