Abstract

Besides FDG, AIB and O15-water were shown to accumulate in primary and recurrent STS of different histologic type. A precise differentiation from normal muscle was found for all tracers. FDG and AIB differentiated viable tumor from blood vessels. PET using FDG, AIB and O15-water is suitable for functional imaging of STS and the detection of sarcoma recurrence.
