Abstract
A positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer for imaging lactate uptake, wherein the tracer is [18F]-3-fluoro-2-hydroxypropionic acid, or a pharmaceutical acceptable salt and/or solvate thereof. Also, a process for the radiosynthesis of [18F]-3-fluoro-2-hydroxypropionic acid, or a pharmaceutical acceptable salt and/or solvate thereof. Further, the use of [18F]-3-fluoro-2-hydroxypropionic acid, or a pharmaceutical acceptable salt and/or solvate thereof, for imaging lactate uptake in living cells, especially in humans.
