Pilot Evaluation of S-(3-[18F]Fluoropropyl)-d-Homocysteine and O-(2-[18F]Fluoroethyl)-d-Tyrosine as Bacteria-Specific Radiotracers for PET Imaging of Infection
(2024)
Journal Article
Purpose There is currently no ideal radiotracer for imaging bacterial infections. Radiolabelled d-amino acids are promising candidates because they are actively incorporated into the peptidoglycan of the bacterial cell wall, a structural feature whic...
