Description

The limitations of [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]FDG), including producing false-positive or -negative results, low image contrast in brain tumor diagnosis and poor differentiation of tumor and inflammatory, necessitate the development of new radiopharmaceuticals. In the present study, a novel [18F]fluoroglycoconjugate tracer, [18F]FDGly-NH-Phe, for tumor metabolism imaging was prepared and evaluated.
