Correlation of Intraoperative 5-ALA-Induced Fluorescence Intensity and Preoperative <sup>11</sup>C-Methionine PET Uptake in Glioma Surgery

Correlation of Intraoperative 5-ALA-Induced Fluorescence Intensity and Preoperative <sup>11</sup>C-Methionine PET Uptake in Glioma Surgery

Background: 5-Aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) is widely employed to assist fluorescence-guided surgery for malignant brain tumors. Positron emission tomography with <sup>11</sup>C-methionine (MET-PET) represents the activity of brain tumors with precise boundaries but is not readily availabl...
