Differential diagnosis between progression and radionecrosis in brain metastases after stereotactic radiosurgery using hybrid FDG-PET and MRI coregistered images

Differential diagnosis between progression and radionecrosis in brain metastases after stereotactic radiosurgery using hybrid FDG-PET and MRI coregistered images

Introduction: Dual phase 18 FDG brain PET is helpful to assess brain metastases (BM) as tracer will build up in metastases or tumor recurrences while its retention remains stable within normal tissue or inflammatory processes. This is useful when MRI can't discriminate brain tumor recurrence (T...
