Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: For the clinical evaluation of O-(2-18F-fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine (18F-FET) PET images, the use of standard summation images obtained 20-40 min after injection is recommended. However, early summation images obtained 5-15 min after injection have been reported to allow better differentiation between low-grade glioma (LGG) and high-grade glioma (HGG) by capturing the early 18F-FET uptake peak specific for...
