Hepatic Galactose Metabolism Quantified in Humans Using 2-(18)F-Fluoro-2-Deoxy-d-Galactose PET/CT

Accurate quantification of regional liver function is needed, and PET of specific hepatic metabolic pathways offers a unique method for this purpose. Here, we quantify hepatic galactose elimination in humans using PET and the galactose analog 2-(18)F-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-galactose ((18)F-FDGal) as the P...
