Abstract :
[en] MRI is the first-choice imaging technique for brain tumors. Positron emission tomography can be combined together with multiparametric MRI to increase diagnostic confidence. Radiolabeled amino acids have gained wide clinical acceptance. The reported pooled specificity of [18F]FDG positron emission tomography is high and [18F]FDG might still be the first-choice positron emission tomography tracer in cases of World Health Organization grade 3 to 4 gliomas or [18F]FDG-avid tumors, avoiding the use of more expensive and less available radiolabeled amino acids. The present review discusses the additional value of positron emission tomography with a focus on [18F]FDG and radiolabeled amino acids.
