Conclusion: 18F-FET static parameters alone showed a comparably high sensitivity in the differentiation between brain tumour true progression and TRC. Combining static and kinetic parameters provided improved diagnostic performance.
PubMed 35102078 ↗Conclusion: For brain tumor diagnosis, FET-PET performed much better than FDG and should be preferred when assessing a new isolated brain tumor. For glioma grading, however, both tracers showed similar performances.
PubMed 26243791 ↗Conclusion: Heterogeneous results indicate a considerable need for further research on the effectiveness and dose of L-Tyrosine to legitimate its appliance in practice.
PubMed 22138797 ↗Conclusion: Both 18F-FDOPA and 18F-FET exhibit moderate overall accuracy in diagnosing brain tumor recurrence from radiation necrosis. However, 18F-FDOPA is more adept at diagnosing glioma recurrence compared with brain metastases, and it is more effective than 18F-FET in diagnosing glioma recurrence.
