11C-Methionine & 18F-FDG PET-CT Scans in Clinical Management of Cerebral Tumors.

Conclusions: The study highlight that [11C]-MET is superior to [18F]-FDG PET scans to detect recurrence in low grade glioma. A cut off value of target to non target value of 1.52 is a useful parameter to distinguish benign from malignant lesion on a [11C]-MET Scan. Both [18F]-FDG & [11C]-MET scan were found to be useful in High Grade Astrocytoma, Oligodendroglioma & Medulloblastoma.
