Positron emission tomography uses an increasing list of chemical compounds (PET tracers) which undergo beta plus decay. Currently, the often used compounds include:
- acetate (11C)
- choline (11C)
- fludeoxyglucose (18F)
- sodium fluoride (18F)
- methionine (11C)
- prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)
(68Ga(68Ga) - DOTATOC, DOTANOC, DOTATATE (68Ga)
- Florbetaben, Florbetapir (18F)
