Abstract

Positron-emission tomography (PET) is a relatively noninvasive, crosssectional imaging modality used to evaluate functional and biochemical abnormalities. PET appears most helpful in differentiating active brain tumors from post-treatment changes, and in evaluating responses to new drugs. The principles, technique, and clinical applications of PET in clinical neuro-oncology are reviewed briefly.
