into its main plasma metabolite,[18 F] fluorobetaine. If PET kinetic modeling quantification of
[18 F] fluorocholine uptake is intended, the plasma input time-activity-curve of the parent
tracer must be obtained, ie, the fraction of the total plasma radioactivity corresponding to the
nonmetabolized [18 F] fluorocholine at each time has to be known. Hence our aim was to
develop an easy-routine Thin-Layer-Chromatography (TLC) method to separate and …
