Monitoring of Radiochemotherapy in Patients with Glioblastoma Using -(2-[F]Fluoroethyl)-L-Tyrosine Positron Emission Tomography: Is Dynamic Imaging Helpful?

Monitoring of radiochemotherapy (RCX) in patients with glioblastoma is difficult because unspecific alterations in magnetic resonance imaging with contrast enhancement can mimic tumor progression. Changes in tumor to brain ratios (TBRs) in positron emission tomography (PET) using O -(2-[ 18 F]fluoro...
