18F-FACBC PET/MRI in Diagnostic Assessment and Neurosurgery of Gliomas

Abstract

Low- versus high-grade glioma differentiation may be possible with F-FACBC using TBR. F-FACBC PET/MRI outperformed MRICE in lesion detection and in detection of glioma tissue. More research is required to evaluate F-FACBC properties, especially in grade II and III tumors, and for different subtypes of gliomas.
