Preferred Label : FLT-Positron Emission Tomography;
NCIt synonyms : FLT-PET; Fluoro-L-Thymidine-Positron Emission Tomography;
NCIt definition : An imaging technique that utilizes positron emission tomography to produce a three-dimensional
image of functional processes in the body. The system detects pairs of gamma rays
emitted indirectly by a positron-emitting radionuclide (tracer), which is introduced
into the body on the biologically active molecule fluoro-L-thymidine (FLT). FLT when
imaged will give tissue metabolic activity, in terms of cell proliferation.;
