Abstract
Further development and validation of 18F-labeled 3′-deoxy-3′fluorothymidine (FLT) is presented by Buck et al. in this issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine ([1][1]). Although the use of PET has exploded within the last few years, this has primarily resulted from the application of 18F-FDG in
