There is an unmet need to develop imaging methods for the early and objective assessment of breast tumors to therapy. 3'-Deoxy-3'-[18F]fluorothymidine ([18F]FLT)-positron emission tomography represents a new approach to imaging thymidine kinase activity, and hence, cellular proliferation. We compared graphical, spectral, and semiquantitative analytic methodologies for quantifying [18F]FLT kinet...
