NCIt synonyms : F18-CETO; [18F]CETO; Para-chloro-2-[18F]fluoroethyl-etomidate;
NCIt definition : A radioconjugate composed of para-chloro-2-fluoroethyletomidate (CETO) conjugated
to the radioisotope fluorine F 18 (18F), with potential application in adrenal imaging
during positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). Upon administration
of [18F]CETO, the CETO moiety targets, binds to and is taken up by the adrenocortical
cells located on the adrenal glands. Upon PET/CT, primary aldosteronism and adrenal
tumors, such as cortisol producing adrenocortical adenoma and non-functioning adrenocortical
carcinoma, can be visualized and detected during PET/CT imaging.;
