 note = {Preoperative noninvasive imaging to estimate the quantity and spatial distribution of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) accumulation in tumors induced by 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) administration is expected to improve the efficacy of ALA-based fluorescence-guided resection and photo- and sonodynamic therapies. PpIX synthesis from exogenous ALA has been reported to be regulated by ALA influx or ALA dehydratase (ALAD) activity, which catalyzes the first step of the synthesis. In this study, we characterized the properties of a (11)C-labeled ALA analog, 5-amino-4-oxo-[6-(11)C]hexanoic acid ((11)C-MALA), as a PET tracer to estimate PpIX accumulation.},
