- Abstract
The article offers brief overviews of several clinical trials using novel tracers undertaken by the West Australian PET Service within the Department of Nuclear Medicine at Sir Charles Gardner Hospital in Perth. Two pilot studies assessing the activity of the hypoxia imaging agent F-fluoromisonidazole PET/CT was completed. Increased amino acid transport associated with tumour tissue reflects the increase uptake of C-methionine in brain tumour tissue.
