pubmed:abstractText |
L-3-[123I]iodo-alpha-methyl-tyrosine (IMT) is a modified amino acid that is avidly taken up by many tumors. Uptake is based on the increased transmembrane transport of amino acids in malignancies. IMT is the only amino acid tracer suitable for SPECT. The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility of IMT SPECT in the detection, staging, and treatment evaluation of non-small cell lung cancer.
