Nuclear Medicine keeps on growing in many number of newer features are also being planned clinical areas, from diagnostic imaging to and we will have a new format for the plenary therapy: our procedures are increasingly being sessions, new top-rated oral presentation sessions incorporated into clinical practice, in a variety of and a new ‘Top Trials’ session. settings and diseases. This success is mostly related to a peculiar characteristic of our specialty, namely A further characteristic of our Congress is its the functional approach to medicine. PET imaging multidisciplinarity, and this will be emphasised works so well because of the unique functional in 2020, with a number of sessions bringing information provided to clinicians, and this feature together physicians from many specialties as well is the key to the ongoing rapid diffusion of Nuclear as specialists in radiochemistry and pharmacy, Medicine. physicists and other professionals.

ABSTRACT Tumor glucose metabolism and amino acid metabolism are usually enhanced, 18F-FDG for tumor glucose metabolism PET imaging has been clinically well known, but tumor amino acid metabolism PET imaging is not clinically familiar. Radiolabeled amino acids (AAs) are an important class of PET/CT tracers that target the upregulated amino acid transporters to show elevated amino acid metabolism in tumor cells. Radiolabeled amino acids were observed to have high uptake in tumor cells but low in normal tissues and inflammatory tissues.

The radionuclide tracers simultaneously emit 2 high-energy photons in opposite directions that can be simultaneously detected (referred to as coincidence detection) by a PET scanner, comprising multiple stationary detectors that encircle the area of interest. A variety of tracers are used for positron emission tomography (PET) scanning, including oxygen 15, nitrogen 13, carbon 11 choline, fluorine 18, gallium 68, and fluciclovine 18. Because of their short half-life, some tracers must be made locally using an onsite cyclotron. The radiotracer most commonly used in oncology imaging has been fluorine 18 coupled with fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), which correlates with glucose metabolism. Fluorodeoxyglucose has been considered useful in cancer imaging because tumor cells show increased metabolism of glucose. The most common malignancies studied have been melanoma, lymphoma, lung, colorectal, and pancreatic cancer. This evidence review focuses on the use of radiotracers detected with dedicated PET scanners. Radiotracers, such as FDG, may be detected using single-photon emission computerized tomography cameras, a technique that may be referred to as FDG-single-photon emission computerized tomography imaging.
