Evaluation of 18fluorin-fluorothymidine uptake in breast and lung-tumor bearing mice

The purpose of this study was to assess tracer uptake (%ID/g) in tumor-bearing mice and the relationship between uptake values and Ki-67 expression. In our model experiment, accumulation of the tracer in the tumor samples correlates with its malignancy which indicates that 18F-FLT could be a feasible PET tracer.
