FET PET in the evaluation of indeterminate brain lesions on MRI: Differentiating glioma from other non-neoplastic causes – A pilot study

In conclusion, FET PET demonstrated a high positive predictive value for glioma in patients with indeterminate brain lesions on MRI. The combination of negative FET and negative FDG PET scans may predict an indolent clinical course. Confirmatory trials are needed to establish the potential value of FET PET in guiding surgical management in this cohort.
