PET with the glucose analog 18F-FDG is increasingly used to monitor tumor response in
patients undergoing chemotherapy and chemoradiotherapy. Numerous studies have shown …

This review addresses the specific contributions of nuclear medicine techniques, and
especially positron emission tomography (PET), for diagnosis and management of brain …

Purpose: To develop a valid treatment strategy for recurrent high-grade gliomas using
stereotactic hypofractionated reirradiation based on biologic imaging and temozolomide …

PURPOSE: L-[methyl-11C] methionine (MET)–positron emission tomography (PET) has a
high sensitivity and specificity for imaging of gliomas and metastatic brain tumors. The short …

Purpose: Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), residual tumor cannot be differentiated
from nonspecific postoperative changes in operated patients with brain gliomas. The higher …

Abstract l-Type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1) is a neutral amino acid transport system and
is a major route for the transport of large neutral amino acids, including methionine, through …

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of positron emission tomography (PET) on target volume
delineation for radiation treatment planning. Material and Methods: The data of the literature …

In radiation therapy (RT), staging, treatment planning, monitoring and evaluation of
response are traditionally based on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance …

Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the differential uptake of O-(2-[18 F] fluorethyl)-
L-tyrosine (FET) in suspected primary brain tumours. Methods Positron emission …

Over the last two decades the large volume of research involving various brain tracers has
shed invaluable light on the pathophysiology of cerebral neoplasms. Yet the question …
