Unconventional non-amino acidic PET radiotracers for molecular imaging in gliomas

The objective of this review was to explore the potential clinical application of unconventional non-amino acid PET radiopharmaceuticals in patients with gliomas. A comprehensive search strategy was used based on SCOPUS and PubMed databases using the following string: (“perfusion” OR “angiogenesis” OR “hypoxia” OR “neuroinflammation” OR proliferation OR invasiveness) AND (“brain tumor” OR “glioma”) AND (“Positron Emission Tomography” OR PET)....
