abstract = {Advanced MRI methods and PET using radiolabelled amino
acids provide valuable information, in addition to
conventional MR imaging, for brain tumour diagnostics. These
methods are particularly helpful in challenging situations
such as the differentiation of malignant processes from
benign lesions, the identification of non-enhancing glioma
subregions, the differentiation of tumour progression from
treatment-related changes, and the early assessment of
responses to anticancer therapy. The debate over which of
the methods is preferable in which situation is ongoing, and
has been addressed in numerous studies. Currently, most
radiology and nuclear medicine departments perform these
examinations independently of each other, leading to
multiple examinations for the patient. The advent of hybrid
PET/MRI allowed a convergence of the methods, but to date
simultaneous imaging has reached little relevance in
clinical neuro-oncology. This is partly due to the limited
availability of hybrid PET/MRI scanners, but is also due to
the fact that PET is a second-line examination in brain
tumours. PET is only required in equivocal situations, and
the spatial co-registration of PET examinations of the brain
to previous MRI is possible without disadvantage. A key
factor for the benefit of PET/MRI in neuro-oncology is a
multimodal approach that provides decisive improvements in
the diagnostics of brain tumours compared with a single
modality. This review focuses on studies investigating the
diagnostic value of combined amino acid PET and 'advanced'
MRI in patients with cerebral gliomas. Available studies
suggest that the combination of amino acid PET and advanced
MRI improves grading and the histomolecular characterisation
of newly diagnosed tumours. Few data are available
concerning the delineation of tumour extent. A clear
additive diagnostic value of amino acid PET and advanced MRI
can be achieved regarding the differentiation of tumour
recurrence from treatment-related changes. Here, the
PET-guided evaluation of advanced MR methods seems to be
helpful. In summary, there is growing evidence that a
multimodal approach can achieve decisive improvements in the
diagnostics of cerebral gliomas, for which hybrid PET/MRI
offers optimal conditions.},
