Preferred Label : Fluorine F 18 Boronophenylalanine;
NCIt synonyms : Fluorine-18-labeled Boronophenylalanine; 18F-Borono-L-phenylalanine; L-18F-BPA; 18F-BPA; Fluorine F 18 BPA;
NCIt definition : A radioconjugate composed of boronophenylalanine (BPA) labeled with the positron-emitting
isotope fluorine F 18, with potential imaging applications upon positron emission
tomography (PET). Upon administration, fluorine F 18 BPA is selectively taken up by
tumor cells. Upon PET, fluorine F 18 can be detected, which allows the imaging of
the tumor cells.;
