Diagnostic Value of 11C-Methionine (MET) and 18F-Fluorothymidine (FLT) Positron Emission Tomography in Recurrent High-Grade Gliomas; Differentiation from Treatment-Induced Tissue Necrosis

Diagnostic Value of 11C-Methionine (MET) and 18F-Fluorothymidine (FLT) Positron Emission Tomography in Recurrent High-Grade Gliomas; Differentiation from Treatment-Induced Tissue Necrosis

We retrospectively evaluated the usefulness of combined measurement of L-methyl-[11C]methionine (MET) and 3'-deoxy-3'-[18F]fluorothymidine (FLT) positron emission tomography (PET) in the differential diagnosis between recurrent gliomas and necrotic lesions. Twenty-one patients with high-gr...
