Tumor hypoxia imaging in orthotopic liver tumors and peritoneal metastasis: a comparative study featuring dynamic 18F-MISO and 124I-IAZG PET in the same study cohort

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to compare the uptake of two clinically promising positron emission tomography (PET) hypoxia targeting agents, 124I-iodoazomycin galactopyranoside (124I-IAZG) and 18F-fluoromisonidazole (18F-FMISO), by dynamic microPET imaging, in the same rats bearing liver tumors and peritoneal metastasis.
