Abstract: A 57-year-old male with history of thalassemia intermedia and hepatocellular carcinoma underwent a positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan with 18F-choline before radioembolization procedure with 90Y-microspheres. The PET/CT scan with 18F-choline demonstrated highly increased tracer… read more here.
