<table>Radioactive tracer uptake of livers from WHV-induced HCC woodchuck model using <sup>18</sup>F-glucose (FDG), <sup>11</sup>C-acetate and <sup>11</sup>C-choline. (a) Representative imaging of an animal with WHV-induced HCC in which the uptake of FDG was negative while the uptake of <sup>11</sup>C-acetate and <sup>11</sup>C-choline were positive. (b) After radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the tumor the uptake of FDG and <sup>11</sup>C-acetate were lower than the surrounding liver tissue.</table>
