[ 1 ] - Evaluation of D-isomer of 18F-FBPA for oncology PET focusing on the differentiation of glioma and inflammation

Objective(s): L-4-borono-2-18F-fluoro-phenylalanine (L-[18F]FBPA), a substrate of L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1), is a tumor-specific probe used in positron emission tomography (PET). On the other hand, it has not been examined whether another isomer D-[18F]FBPA accumulates specifically in the tumor. He...
