  1. Tumor-to-background ratio after a bolus injection of [18F]afatinib with added isotopically unmodified afatinib. Ratios determined in the last frame of the scans (90 to 120 min) and averaged over three animals.*Tumor-to-background is statistically significant (P < 0.05, Student’s t-test for paired data). HCC827 xenografts harbor an exon 19 deleted variant of EGFR.
