An Assessment of Early Response to Targeted Therapy via Molecular Imaging: A Pilot Study of 3'-deoxy-3'[(18)F]-Fluorothymidine Positron Emission Tomography 18 F-FLT PET/CT in Prostate Adenocarcinoma

An Assessment of Early Response to Targeted Therapy via Molecular Imaging: A Pilot Study of 3'-deoxy-3'[(18)F]-Fluorothymidine Positron Emission Tomography 18 F-FLT PET/CT in Prostate Adenocarcinoma

Fluorothymidine is a thymidine analog labeled with fluorine-18 fluorothymidine for positron emission tomography ( F-FLT-PET) imaging. Thymidine is a nucleic acid that is used to build DNA. Fluorine-18 fluorothymidine ( F-FLT) utilizes the same metabolic pathway as does thymidine but has a very low i...

Zusammenfassung:Fluorothymidine is a thymidine analog labeled with fluorine-18 fluorothymidine for positron emission tomography ( F-FLT-PET) imaging. Thymidine is a nucleic acid that is used to build DNA. Fluorine-18 fluorothymidine ( F-FLT) utilizes the same metabolic pathway as does thymidine but has a very low incidence of being incorporated into the DNA (
