Comparison of11C-CHOLINE (11C-CHO)and 18F-FDG PET/CT brain imaging in the differentiationof benign from malignant lesions in patients with enhancement on brain MRI.
Conclusions: Although both 18F-FDG and 11C-CHO PET/CT have value in the evaluation of ring-enhanced brain tumors shown on MRI, 11C-CHO PET/CT is more accurate. A combined use of the both tracers can improve the accuracy of the diagnosis of ring-enhanced lesions on brain MRI.
