abstract = {Despite the fact that MRI has evolved to become the
standard method for diagnosis and monitoring of patients
with brain tumours, conventional MRI sequences have two key
limitations: the inability to show the full extent of the
tumour and the inability to differentiate neoplastic tissue
from nonspecific, treatment-related changes after surgery,
radiotherapy, chemotherapy or immunotherapy. In the past
decade, PET involving the use of radiolabelled amino acids
has developed into an important diagnostic tool to overcome
some of the shortcomings of conventional MRI. The Response
Assessment in Neuro-Oncology working group — an
international effort to develop new standardized response
criteria for clinical trials in brain tumours — has
recommended the additional use of amino acid PET imaging for
brain tumour management. Concurrently, a number of advanced
MRI techniques such as magnetic resonance spectroscopic
imaging and perfusion weighted imaging are under clinical
evaluation to target the same diagnostic problems. This
Review summarizes the clinical role of amino acid PET in
relation to advanced MRI techniques for differential
diagnosis of brain tumours; delineation of tumour extent for
treatment planning and biopsy guidance; post-treatment
differentiation between tumour progression or recurrence
versus treatment-related changes; and monitoring response to
therapy. An outlook for future developments in PET and MRI
techniques is also presented.},
