Imaging in neuro-oncology
Imaging plays several key roles in managing brain tumors, including diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment response assessment. Ongoing challenges remain as new therapies emerge and there are urgent needs to find accurate and clinically feasible methods to noninvasively evaluate brain tumors before and after treatment. This review aims to provide an overview of several advanced imaging modalities ...
متن کاملPET/CT in Oncology: Current Status and Perspectives
The discovery of the Warburg effect in the early twentieth century followed by the development of the fluorinated glucose analogue 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) and the invention of positron emission tomographs laid the foundation of clinical PET/CT. This review discusses the challenges and obstacles in clinical adoption of this technique. We then discuss advances in instrumentation, includi...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance perfusion imaging in neuro-oncology
Recent advances in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have seen the development of techniques that allow quantitative imaging of a number of anatomical and physiological descriptors. These techniques have been increasingly applied to cancer imaging where they can provide some insight into tumour microvascular structure and physiology. This review details technical approaches and application of qu...
متن کاملResponse Assessment in Neuro-Oncology working group and European Association for Neuro-Oncology recommendations for the clinical use of PET imaging in gliomas.
This guideline provides recommendations for the use of PET imaging in gliomas. The review examines established clinical benefit in glioma patients of PET using glucose ((18)F-FDG) and amino acid tracers ((11)C-MET, (18)F-FET, and (18)F-FDOPA). An increasing number of studies have been published on PET imaging in the setting of diagnosis, biopsy, and resection as well radiotherapy planning, trea...
متن کاملFDG PET/CT imaging in pediatric oncology
Hybr id imag ing w i th F -FDG PET/CT has revolutionized the practice of imaging in oncology patients. The clinical utility of FDG PET/CT in pediatric oncology is most well-established in the evaluation of malignant lymphomas, which comprise about 15% of childhood cancers in Western populations. In Hong Kong, the incidence is lower with these tumors comprising about 8.5% of cancers in children,...
