18F-FET (18F-Fluoroethyl-L-tyrosine) is a radiolabelled amino acid. It penetrates the blood-brain barrier by a specific amino acid transport system. In the brain, it is taken up into upregulated tumoral cells but not incorporated into proteins. It is used as a biomarker for positron emission tomography for imaging brain tumors, where it has higher specificity than 18F-FDG.
