## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The overexpression of glucose transporters, especially of Glutβ1, is a common characteristic of human malignancies, including head and neck carcinoma. Recently, the assessment of glucose metabolism in the tumor with [^18^F]β2βfluoroβ2 deoxyβDβglucose (FDG) and positron em
## Abstract ## Background. A disadvantage of 2β[^18^F]fluoroβ2βdeoxyβDβglucose (^18^FβFDG) positron emission tomography (PET) in head and neck cancer is that ^18^FβFDG uptake is not specific to malignant tissue. To provide an alternative, radiolabeled amino acids such as Lβ1β[^11^C]βtyrosine (^11^
