Assessment of residual tumor after resection of cerebral gliomas can be difficult with MRI
and may be improved by amino acid PET. The aim of this experimental study was to …

PET using O-(2-18F-fluoroethyl)-l-tyrosine (18F-FET) is useful to detect residual tumor tissue
after glioma resection. Recent animal experiments detected reactive changes in 18F-FET …

The transport mechanisms of O-(2-[18F] fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine (FET) and 2-[18F] fluoro-L-
tyrosine (FTyr) were compared to those of [3H]-Methyl-L-methionine (MET) in F98 rat glioma …

Abstract PET using O-(2-[18 F] fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine (18 F-FET) allows improved imaging of
tumor extent of cerebral gliomas in comparison to MRI. In experimental brain infarction and …

O-(2-[18 F] Fluoroethyl)-l-tyrosine (FET) is a recently described amino acid analogue that
has shown high accumulation in animal tumours. The aim of this study was to compare the …

Abstract Purpose O-(2-[18 F] Fluoroethyl)-l-tyrosine (18 F-FET) is a well-established PET
tracer for the imaging of cerebral gliomas, but little is known about 18 F-FET uptake in …

Purpose Positron emission tomography (PET) using O-(2-18 F-fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine (18 F-
FET) is a well-established method for the diagnostics of brain tumors. This study investigates …

Abstract Purpose O-(2-18 F-fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine (18 F-FET) is an established tracer for the
diagnosis of brain tumors with PET. This study investigates the influence of blood-brain …

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 …

The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether extended analyses of O-(2-18F-
fluoroethyl)-l-tyrosine (FET) uptake kinetics provide results superior to those of standard …
