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 …

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 …

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 …

Multiparametric PET/MRI with the amino-acid analog O-(2-18F-fluoroethyl)-l-tyrosine (18F-
FET) enables the simultaneous assessment of molecular, morphologic, and functional brain …

The aim of this prospective pilot study in patients with suspected or known brain tumour was
to establish the diagnostic value of O-(2-[18F]-fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine (FET) positron emission …

The aim of this study was to assess the clinical value of O-(2-18F-fluoroethyl)-l-tyrosine (18F-
FET) PET in the initial diagnosis of cerebral lesions suggestive of glioma. Methods: In a …

The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic value of positron emission
tomography (PET) using [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) and O-(2-[18F] fluoroethyl)-l …

Purpose Gliomas constitute the most frequent primary brain tumors. Glioblastoma, the most
common and malignant glioma in adults, has dismal prognosis with any current therapy. On …

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 …

Background: Several meta-analyses reporting data on the diagnostic performance or
prognostic value of positron emission tomography (PET) with different tracers in detecting …
