18F-FDOPA kinetics in brain tumors.
UNLABELLED L-3,4-Dihydroxy-6-(18)F-fluoro-phenyl-alanine ((18)F-FDOPA) is an amino acid analog used to evaluate presynaptic dopaminergic neuronal function. Evaluation of tumor recurrence in neurooncology is another application. Here, the kinetics of (18)F-FDOPA in brain tumors were investigated. METHODS A total of 37 patients underwent 45 studies; 10 had grade IV, 10 had grade III, and 13 had...
متن کاملFactors influencing decisions on organ donation in brain death patients
Organ donation is an integral part of the health care system. Many patients who have had an accident or have undergone a progressive disease are in need of an organ transplant and if they do not receive the required organ they would die. It is important to know that the most important source of organ donation is the brain death patients. It is highly essential to determine the pivotal factors t...
متن کاملImpact of attenuation correction on clinical [18F]FDG brain PET in combined PET/MRI
BACKGROUND In PET/MRI, linear photon attenuation coefficients for attenuation correction (AC) cannot be directly derived, and cortical bone is, so far, usually not considered. This results in an underestimation of the average PET signal in PET/MRI. Recently introduced MR-AC methods predicting bone information from anatomic MRI or proton density-weighted zero-time imaging may solve this problem ...

brain tumors in elderly are increasing as the number of people, who comprise the older population, does.about half of the patients with brain tumors appear to be over 60 years of age.in this review article, glioblastoma multiform, as the most common malignant tumor of the central nervous system in elderly is discussed in details of definition, prognosis, diagnosis, treatment and differential di...
متن کاملAn overview of therapeutic approaches to brain tumor stem cells
Primary and secondary malignant central nervous system (CNS) tumors are devastating invasive tumors able to give rise to many kinds of differentiated tumor cells. Glioblastoma multiform (GBM), is the most malignant brain tumor, in which its growth and persistence depend on cancer stem cells with enhanced DNA damage repair program that also induces recurrence and resists current chemo- and radi...
