The sensitivity of FDG at PET examination of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is restricted. In a few studies, all done in Oriental patients, PET-examination with (11)C-acetate has shown a higher accuracy than with FDG. In the current study, the uptake of (11)C-acetate has been compared with the uptake of FDG in the primary HCC in a cohort of Occidental patients.
