Comparative StudyDiagnostic performance of ¹⁸F-fluorothymidine PET/CT for primary colorectal cancer and its lymph node metastasis: comparison with ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT.
To examine the diagnostic performance of (18)F-fluorothymidine (FLT) PET/CT in primary and metastatic lymph node colorectal cancer foci in comparison with (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT. ⋯ FLT has the same potential as FDG in PET/CT for the diagnosis of primary and nodal foci of colorectal cancer despite significantly lower FLT uptake in primary foci.
