The most extensively used radiopharmaceutical in clinical practice is fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG). Extensive published evidence supports its use in oncology. Several non-FDG positron emission tomography imaging agents are also used in oncology. This chapter will explore the common questions related to science and practice, as well as the advantages and limitations of FDG and non-FDG tracers, and provide answers.

摘要

The most extensively used radiopharmaceutical in clinical practice is fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG). Extensive published evidence supports its use in oncology. Several non-FDG positron emission tomography imaging agents are also used in oncology. This chapter will explore the common questions related to science and practice, as well as the advantages and limitations of FDG and non-FDG tracers, and provide answers.
