This book chapter is focussed on PET tracers that appear to be especially helpful in clinical decisionmaking with regard to a better delineation of brain tumors, prognosis and grading, improved differentiation of tumor recurrence from non-specific posttherapeutic changes, and treatment monitoring....
The value of 11C-choline PET-CT imaging in the diagnosis of brain tumors[J]. Chinese Journal of Metastatic Tumors, 2020, 3(3): 200-204. [11]Dunet V, Pomoni A, Hottinger A, et al. Performance of 18F-FET versus 18F-FDG-PET for the diagnosis and grading of brain tumors: systematic...
As such, PET has played an increasingly important role in the staging of brain neoplasms, image-guided therapy planning, and treatment monitoring. This article addresses the most commonly used agents in PET imaging of brain tumors.Michael F. Goldberg and Sanjeev Chawla and Abass Alavi and Drew ...
There is no doubt that the multimodal examination model provides important complementary information for the functional assessment of brain gliomas. This review aimed to provide a concise overview of the various amino acid tracers in brain tumor...
Imaging amino acid transporters with positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) has been shown to significantly alter intended management plans for patients with brain tumors, according to research in the March issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. As a result of imaging with the...
In all cases, no uptake was seen in normal brain. All patients tolerated the isotope administration well, without adverse event. CONCLUSION: FLT-PET is a promising modality for molecular imaging evaluation of brain tumors in children.Robison
In addition, PET can be used to differentiate tumor necrosis from recurrence noninvasively, which is important for patient management. PET also may prove useful in early assessments of metabolic and physiologic changes in brain tumors following treatment and in monitoring drug delivery to tumor. ...

A new procedure for performing a PET scan using tyrosine will allow for more precise localization of brain tumors. Credit: Franciszek Lukaszczyk Oncology Center A more refined approach to the precise removal of brain tumors is on the horizon. The long-anticipated advancement is made achievable thr...
