Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the visceral localization of the three most commonly used choline-based radiotracers (C-choline, F-methylcholine, and F-ethylcholine) with the aim of analyzing uptake in metabolically and anatomically disease-free patients.
Materials And Methods: A total of 1250 standardized uptake values (SUVmax, SUVmean) were analyzed in 45 anatomical regions in 45 patients (15 patients with C-choline, 15 with F-methylcholine, and 15 with F-ethylcholine). These patients were selected from a cohort of 3721 choline PET/computed tomography studies performed at three teaching hospitals over a period of 10 years.
