Abstract
Positron emission tomography (PET) can be used advantageously in oncological patients to study the in vivo biochemical properties in tumors and to monitor their metabolic response to therapy [1]. Among the potential agents which are available for this purpose are 11C-aminocyclopentane carboxylic acid or ACPC (a non-metabolized amino acid) and 13N-ammonia, both of which show tumor affinity in humans [2-5].
