62Cu-Diacetyl-Bis (N4-Methylthiosemicarbazone) PET in Human Gliomas: Comparative Study with [18F]Fluorodeoxyglucose and L-Methyl-[11C]Methionine PET

Abstract

(62)Cu-diacetyl-bis(N(4)-methylthiosemicarbazone) may be a practical radiotracer in the prediction of glioblastoma multiforme. In addition to FDG-PET, L-methyl-[(11)C]methionine)-PET, and MR imaging, (62)Cu-diacetyl-bis(N(4)-methylthiosemicarbazone)-PET may provide intratumoral hypoxic information useful in establishing targeted therapeutic strategies for patients with glioblastoma multiforme.
