PET plays an increasingly important role in the management of brain tumors. This review outlines currently available PET radiotracers and their respective indications. It specifically focuses on 18F-FDG, amino acid and somatostatin receptor radiotracers, for imaging gliomas, meningiomas, primary central nervous system lymphomas as well as brain...

Differences in the performance of cadmium-zinc-telluride (CZT) cameras or collimation systems that have recently been commercialized for myocardial SPECT remain unclear. In the present study, the performance of 3 of these systems was compared by a comprehensive analysis of phantom and human SPECT images. Methods: We evaluated the Discovery NM...

The impact of age is crucial and must be taken into account when applying a voxel-based quantitative analysis on brain images from [(18)F]-fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography (FDG-PET). This study aimed to determine whether age-related changes in brain FDG-PET images are more accurately assessed when the conventional statistical...

BACKGROUND: Diagnostic value of 3,4-dihydroxy-6-[(18)F]fluoro-L-phenylalanine ([(18)F]FDOPA) PET in patients with suspected recurrent gliomas is recognised. We conducted a multicentre prospective study to assess its added value in the practical management of patients suspected of recurrence of high grade gliomas (HGG). METHODS: Patients with a...
