Fig. 1From: Comparison of the image-derived radioactivity and blood-sample radioactivity for estimating the clinical indicators of the efficacy of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT): 4-borono-2-18F-fluoro-phenylalanine (FBPA) PET studyTime–activity curves (TACs). TAC of blood sampling radioactivity in 5 healthy subjects (a) and TAC of PET image-derived blood radioactivity: average values from 5 healthy subjects (b). Both the TACs showed a peak within five min after the FBPA injection, gradually approaching a constant level at 20 min after the injectionBack to article page
