%X This review provides an overview of current applications and perspectives of PET imaging in neuro-oncological surgery. The past and future of PET imaging in the management of patients with glioma and brain metastases are elucidated with an emphasis on amino acid tracers, such as O-(2-[18F]fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine (18F-FET). The thematic scope includes surgical resection planning, prognostication, non-invasive prediction of molecular tumor characteristics, depiction of intratumoral heterogeneity, response assessment, differentiation between tumor progression and treatment-related changes, and emerging new tracers. Furthermore, the role of PET using specific somatostatin receptor ligands for the management of patients with meningioma is discussed. Further advances in neuro-oncological imaging can be expected from promising new techniques, such as hybrid PET/MR scanners and the implementation of artificial intelligence methods, such as radiomics.
