Abstract
Positron emission tomography (PET) enables the noninvasive spatiotemporal analysis of cancer metabolism in vivo. Both natural and nonnatural PET tracers have been developed to assess metabolic pathways during tumorigenesis, cancer progression, and metastasis. Here we describe the dynamic in vivo PET/CT imaging of the glucose analogue [ F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG), taking into consideration the methodology for alternative metabolic PET substrates.
