The most experience for this class of positron emission tomography (PET) tracers has been gained with 11C-methyl-l-methionine (MET). MET is labeled with the positron-emitting isotope carbon-11, which has a short half-life of 20 min. Thus, the use of MET is restricted to PET centers with an on-site cyclotron unit. This prompted the development of amino acid tracers labeled with positron emitters that have longer half-lives. More recently, O-(2-[18F]fluoroethyl)-l-tyrosine (FET) was developed and is a 18F-labeled amino acid tracer with a half-life of 110 min, resulting in a higher practicability compared to MET. The use of FET has grown rapidly in recent years, especially in Western Europe, and has led to a replacement of MET by the more convenient FET. The improved availability has led to several thousand FET PET scans being performed in some centers. Furthermore, clinical results with PET using FET and MET seem to be comparable [1 Grosu AL, Astner ST, Riedel E, et al. An interindividual comparison of O-(2- [(18)F]fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine (FET)- and L-[methyl-(11)C]methionine (MET)-PET in patients with brain gliomas and metastases. Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys. 2011;81(4):1049–1058.[CrossRef], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®], [Google Scholar]]. The 18F-labeled amino acid analogue 3,4-dihydroxy-6-[18F]-fluoro-l-phenylalanine (FDOPA) – primarily developed to evaluate dopamine synthesis in patients with movement disorders – is also increasingly being used for brain tumor imaging [2 Herrmann K, Czernin J, Cloughesy T, et al. Comparison of visual and semiquantitative analysis of 18F-FDOPA-PET/CT for recurrence detection in glioblastoma patients. Neuro Oncol. 2014;16(4):603–609.[CrossRef], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®], [Google Scholar]]. However, in the USA, the standard tracer for tumor imaging 18F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (FDG) PET is still frequently used in brain tumor patients, although the evaluation of brain tumors using FDG is difficult because levels of glucose metabolism in healthy brain parenchyma are usually high. This leads to a poor tumor-to-background contrast compared with amino acid tracers [3 Albert NL, Weller M, Suchorska B, et al. Response assessment in neuro-oncology working group and European Association for Neuro-Oncology recommendations for the clinical use of PET imaging in gliomas. Neuro Oncol. 2016;18(9):1199–1208.[CrossRef], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®], [Google Scholar]]. 000829453 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-573$$a573 - Neuroimaging (POF3-573)$$cPOF3-573$$fPOF III$$x0 000829453 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef 000829453 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)131777$$aLangen, Karl-Josef$$b1$$ufzj 000829453 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2090850-7$$a10.1080/14737140.2017.1302799$$gp. 1 - 3$$n5$$p395-397$$tExpert review of anticancer therapy$$v17$$x1744-8328$$y2017 000829453 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/829453/files/Amino%20acid%20PET%20in%20neuro%20oncology%20applications%20in%20the%20clinic.pdf$$yRestricted 000829453 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/829453/files/Amino%20acid%20PET%20in%20neuro%20oncology%20applications%20in%20the%20clinic.gif?subformat=icon$$xicon$$yRestricted 000829453 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/829453/files/Amino%20acid%20PET%20in%20neuro%20oncology%20applications%20in%20the%20clinic.jpg?subformat=icon-1440$$xicon-1440$$yRestricted 000829453 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/829453/files/Amino%20acid%20PET%20in%20neuro%20oncology%20applications%20in%20the%20clinic.jpg?subformat=icon-180$$xicon-180$$yRestricted 000829453 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/829453/files/Amino%20acid%20PET%20in%20neuro%20oncology%20applications%20in%20the%20clinic.jpg?subformat=icon-640$$xicon-640$$yRestricted 000829453 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/829453/files/Amino%20acid%20PET%20in%20neuro%20oncology%20applications%20in%20the%20clinic.pdf?subformat=pdfa$$xpdfa$$yRestricted 000829453 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:829453$$pVDB 000829453 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)143792$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b0$$kFZJ 000829453 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)131777$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b1$$kFZJ 000829453 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-573$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-570$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-500$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bKey Technologies$$lDecoding the Human Brain$$vNeuroimaging$$x0 000829453 9141_ $$y2017 000829453 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS 000829453 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR$$bEXPERT REV ANTICANC : 2015 000829453 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection 000829453 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0111$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded 000829453 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)9900$$2StatID$$aIF < 5 000829453 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0310$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bNCBI Molecular Biology Database 000829453 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline 000829453 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1110$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Clinical Medicine 000829453 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0550$$2StatID$$aNo Authors Fulltext 000829453 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bThomson Reuters Master Journal List 000829453 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)INM-3-20090406$$kINM-3$$lKognitive Neurowissenschaften$$x0 000829453 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)INM-4-20090406$$kINM-4$$lPhysik der Medizinischen Bildgebung$$x1 000829453 9201_ $$0I:(DE-82)080010_20140620$$kJARA-BRAIN$$lJARA-BRAIN$$x2 000829453 980__ $$ajournal 000829453 980__ $$aVDB 000829453 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000829453 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)INM-3-20090406 000829453 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)INM-4-20090406 000829453 980__ $$aI:(DE-82)080010_20140620
