Direct comparison of [11C] choline and [18F] FET PET to detect glioma infiltration: a diagnostic accuracy study in eight patients

Abstract Background Positron emission tomography (PET) is increasingly used to guide local treatment in glioma. The purpose of this study was a direct comparison of two potential tracers for detecting glioma infiltration, O-(2-[18F]-fluoroethyl)-l-tyrosine ([18F] FET) and [11C] choline. Methods Eigh...
