• 11 C-methionine

– marker of proteine synthesis – based on increased cellular proliferation in tumour cells showing increased amino acid transport – > brain tumors • 11 C-acetate – marker of lipid metabolism – based on increased fatty acid synthesis in tumour cells showing overexpression of fatty acid synthase – very similar to 11 C-choline (also few urinary excretion) • 68 Ga-PSMA Glycoprotein with enzymatic function (NAAG to glutamate & NAA) – – marker of lipid metabolism – based on increased fatty acid synthesis in tumour cells

showing overexpression of fatty acid synthase
