Description

As the developing of the PET technology on metabolic imaging, the application in the diagnosis, treatment and evaluation of neoplasms is extending, this also promotes the research on various metabolic imaging agents. This article summarized the characteristics and clinical applications of different kinds of metabolic imaging agents, in which the glucose, amino acid and choline metabolic imaging agents are highlighted.
