Brain protein metabolism imaging

Brain protein metabolism imaging: 11C-MET (11C-methyl-L-methionine), 11C-TYR (11C-tyrosine), 18F-FET (18F-fluoroethyltyrosine) and 123I-IMT (123I-iodomethyltyrosine) and other imaging agents can obtain images reflecting amino acid uptake and protein synthesis in the brain.
