Case Report: Detection of Symptomatic Treatment-Related Changes in a Patient With Anaplastic Oligodendroglioma Using FET PET

Following local and systemic treatment of gliomas, the differentiation between glioma relapse and treatment-related changes such as pseudoprogression or radiation necrosis using conventional MRI is limited. To overcome this limitation, various amino acid PET tracers such as O-[2-(18F)-fluoroethyl]-L...
