Representative 11C-Met and 18F-BPA PET/CT (patient No. 6). Upper panel: maximum intensity projection imaging. Lower panel: PET/CT fusion image. a 11C-Met-PET/CT at 10 min after injection. Tumor SUVmax was 5.8. (*). High physiological uptake is shown in the salivary glands (arrows), bone marrow, and some abdominal organs. b 18F-BPA-PET/CT at 1 h after injection. Tumor SUVmax was 4.7. (*). Physiological uptake is generally low
