Abstract

The use of (11)C-choline PET is feasible for imaging of gynecologic tumors. Unlike (18)F-FDG PET, interpretation of the primary tumor on (11)C-choline PET is not hampered by urinary radioactivity; however, variable background activity in the intestine may interfere with the interpretation.
