Malignant gliomas consist of glioblastomas, anaplastic astrocytomas, anaplastic
oligodendrogliomas and anaplastic oligoastrocytomas, and some less common tumors such …

Dose painting is the prescription of a nonuniform radiation dose distribution to the target
volume based on functional or molecular images shown to indicate the local risk of relapse …

Malignant gliomas and metastatic tumors are the most common brain tumors. Neuroimaging
plays a significant role clinically. In low-grade tumors, neuroimaging is needed to evaluate …

Standard MR imaging and CT are routinely used for anatomic diagnosis in brain tumors.
Pretherapy planning and posttreatment response assessments rely heavily on gadolinium …

Functional imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) is playing an increasingly
important role in the diagnosis and staging of malignant disease, image-guided therapy …

3′-Deoxy-3′-18F-fluorothymidine (18F-FLT) is a recently developed PET tracer to image
tumor cell proliferation. We characterized 18F-FLT PET of brain gliomas and compared 18F …

Recently, the thymidine analog 3′-deoxy-3′-18F-fluorothymidine (FLT) was suggested for
imaging tumoral proliferation. In this prospective study, we examined whether 18F-FLT …

Purpose Evaluation of treatment effects in malignant brain tumors is challenging because of
the lack of reliable response predictors of tumor response. This study examines the …

Abstract In recent years,[18 F]-fluoro-3′-deoxy-3′-L-fluorothymidine ([18 F] FLT) has been
developed as a proliferation tracer. Imaging and measurement of proliferation with PET …

BACKGROUND: Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging using the radiotracer 18F-
Fluorothymidine (FLT) has been proposed as an imaging biomarker of tumour proliferation …
