With new treatments, PET imaging adds valuable information to brain metastasis monitoring
(Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging) For patients with brain metastases, amino acid positron emission tomography (PET) can provide valuable information about the effectiveness of state-of-the-art treatments. When treatment monitoring with contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is unclear, adding 18F-FET PET can help to accurately diagnose recurring brain metastases and reliably assess patient response. This research was published in The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. (Source: EurekAlert! - Medicine and Health)
