Role of amide proton transfer imaging in maximizing tumor resection in malignant glioma: a possibility to take the place of 11C-methionine positron emission tomography

ConclusionsAPT imaging can be used to evaluate the area of tumor invasion, similar to11C-Met-PET. APT imaging revealed low invasiveness in patients and was useful in preoperative planning for tumor resection, facilitating maximum tumor resection including the tumor invasive area.
