We have investigated dual-time-point 18F-FDG PET for the detection and delineation of high-
grade brain tumors using quantitative criteria applied on a voxel basis. Methods: Twenty-five …

Purpose: Several studies have explored the usefulness of dual time point F-18 FDG positron
emission tomography imaging (DTPI) in improving detection of brain metastases and tumors …

We evaluated the amino acid and glucose metabolism of brain tumors by using PET with 3,
4-dihydroxy-6-18F-fluoro-l-phenylalanine (18F-FDOPA) and 18F-FDG. Methods: Eighty-one …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of our study was to determine whether 18F-FDG PET can be used
to differentiate among common enhancing brain tumors such as lymphoma, high-grade …

We hypothesized that delineation of gliomas from gray matter with 18F-FDG PET could be
improved by extending the interval between 18F-FDG administration and PET data …

Aim The aim of this study was to validate 18 F-FDG PET imaging for differentiating high-
grade gliomas (HGGs) from low-grade gliomas (LGGs). Methods Twenty-one patients with …

The objective of this study was to give an overview of the potential clinical utility of [18 F]-L-
dihydroxyphenylalanine (18 F-DOPA) PET and PET/CT for imaging of brain tumors. Review …

OBJECTIVE. FDG PET/CT of brain tumors is limited by background activity. Dual-phase FDG
PET/CT can eliminate this limitation and allow discernment of viable tumors. Our aim was to …

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of using [18 F] 3′-deoxy-3′-
fluorothymidine (FLT) positron emission tomography (PET) for the diagnosis and grading of …

18F-FDG-PET has been widely used in patients with brain tumors. However, the reported
sensitivity and specificity of 18F-FDG-PET for brain tumor differentiation varied greatly. We …
