abstract = {Purpose of review The aim of this study was to give an
update on the emerging role of PET using radiolabelled amino
acids in the diagnostic workup and management of patients
with cerebral gliomas and brain metastases.Recent findings
Numerous studies have demonstrated the potential of PET
using radiolabelled amino acids for differential diagnosis
of brain tumours, delineation of tumour extent for treatment
planning and biopsy guidance, differentiation between tumour
progression and recurrence versus treatment-related changes,
and for monitoring of therapy. The Response Assessment in
Neuro-Oncology (RANO) working group – an international
effort to develop new standardized response criteria for
clinical trials in brain tumours – has recently
recommended the use of amino acid PET imaging for brain
tumour management in addition to MRI at every stage of
disease. With the introduction of F-18 labelled amino acids,
a broader clinical application has become possible, but is
still hampered by the lack of regulatory approval and of
reimbursement in many countries.Summary PET using
radiolabelled amino acids is a rapidly evolving method that
can significantly enhance the diagnostic value of MRI in
brain tumours. Current developments suggest that this
imaging technique will become an indispensable tool in
neuro-oncological centres in the near future.},
