“…The investigational classes of radiotracers include fatty acid analogs (acetate), cell membrane analogs (choline), amino acid analogs (fluciclovine), and newer-generation prostate-specific membrane antigen ligands (16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21). In this context, 18 F-fluciclovine (anti-1-amino-3-18 F-fluorocyclobutane-1-carboxylic acid), which is transported in a manner similar to glutamine, has shown promising imaging characteristics for the detection of prostate cancer recurrence. 18 F-fluciclovine PET/CT has been compared with radioimmunoscintigraphy in a randomized trial and has shown significantly higher accuracy (22,23).…”
