In the era when positron emission tomography (PET) seems to constitute the most advanced
application of nuclear medicine imaging, still the conventional procedure of single photon …

Malignant gliomas and metastatic tumors are the most common brain tumors. Neuroimaging
plays a significant role clinically. In low-grade tumors, neuroimaging is needed to evaluate …

Malignant gliomas consist of glioblastomas, anaplastic astrocytomas, anaplastic
oligodendrogliomas and anaplastic oligoastrocytomas, and some less common tumors such …

Molecular imaging of tumor metabolism has gained considerable interest, since preclinical
studies have indicated a close relationship between the activation of various oncogenes and …

For the past decade, PET with 18F-fluoro-ethyl-tyrosine (18F-FET) has been used in the
evaluation of patients with primary brain tumors (PBTs), but so far series have reported only …

O-(2-[18F] fluoroethyl)-l-tyrosine (FET) is a promising tracer for PET that has demonstrated
convincing results especially in the diagnostics of brain tumors. In contrast to other …

Background For the past decade 18F-fluoro-ethyl-l-tyrosine (FET) and 18F-fluoro-deoxy-
glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) have been used for the assessment of …

Inflammation plays a significant role in many disease processes. Development in molecular
imaging in recent years provides new insight into the diagnosis and treatment evaluation of …

Purpose: This study compares the value of 3, 4-dihydroxy-6-[18F]-fluoro-l-phenylalanine
(18F-FDOPA) positron emission tomography (PET) and MRI in assessing outcome during …

PURPOSE: The authors analyzed the characteristics of perfusion magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI), 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) and …
