This guideline provides recommendations for the use of PET imaging in gliomas. The review
examines established clinical benefit in glioma patients of PET using glucose (18F-FDG) …

Although low-grade gliomas (LGG) have a less aggressive course than do high-grade
gliomas, the outcome of these tumours is ultimately fatal in most patients. Both the tumour …

Imaging techniques are important for accurate diagnosis and follow-up of patients with
gliomas. T1-weighted MRI, with or without gadolinium, is the gold standard method …

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

Abstract 11 C-methionine (MET) is the most popular amino acid tracer used in PET imaging
of brain tumours. Because of its characteristics, MET PET provides a high detection rate of …

Neuroimaging enables the noninvasive evaluation of glioma and is considered to be one of
the key factors for individualized therapy and patient management, since accurate diagnosis …

Purpose Since differentiation between low-grade glioma (LGG) and high-grade glioma
(HGG) remains challenging according to MRI criteria alone, we investigated the …

The revolution in cancer genomics has uncovered a variety of clinically relevant mutations in
primary brain tumours, creating an urgent need to develop non-invasive imaging biomarkers …

Neuroimaging plays a significant role in the diagnosis of intracranial tumors, especially brain
gliomas, and must consist of an assessment of location and extent of the tumor and of its …

PURPOSE: Early detection of treatment response in glioma patients after
radiochemotherapy (RCX) is uncertain because treatment-related contrast enhancement in …
