Fluorocholine-F18 is a tracer for positron emission tomography that can be used in oncology for the evaluation of metastatic prostate cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, and recurrent brain tumor. After crossing the cell membrane by a carrier-mediated mechanism, Fluorocholine-F18 is converted to cytidinediphosphatecholine and incorporated into phosphatidylcholine which is a component of the cell membrane. This process has been found to be upregulated in malignant cells, providing a mechanism for the enhanced accumulation of radiolabelled choline by neoplasms.
