11C-l-Methionine Positron Emission Tomography in the Clinical Management of Cerebral Gliomas
Abstract
Positron emission tomography (PET) using L-[methyl-(11)C]-methionine (MET) is the most popular amino acid imaging modality in oncology, although its use is restricted to PET centers with an in-house cyclotron facility. This review focuses on the role of MET-PET in imaging of cerebral gliomas. The biological background of tumor imaging with methionine is discussed with particular emphasis on cellular amino acid transport, amino acid utilization...
