Solitary Brain and Neck Lesions Enhancing at MR Imaging: Evaluation with18F-(2S, 4R) 4-fluoroglutamine PET

Conclusions: High-grade gliomas, metastases, and lymphomas may be distinguished on the basis of measured 18F-FGln uptake and TAC. Higher uptake of 18F-FGln is a significant feature of primary brain lymphomas. The uptake of 18F-FGln in some benign tumors, such as the pituitary adenoma, and in the necrotic tissues of brain tumors after radiotherapy requires special attention and further study.
