Advances in PET imaging for meningioma patients
In patients with meningioma, diagnosis and treatment planning are predominantly based on anatomical imaging using MRI or CT. Constraints of these imaging modalities include precise meningioma delineation—especially at the skull base, in the case of trans-osseus growth, and in tumors with complex geo...

In patients with meningioma, diagnosis and treatment planning are predominantly based on anatomical imaging using MRI or CT. Constraints of these imaging modalities include precise meningioma delineation—especially at the skull base, in the case of trans-osseus growth, and in tumors with complex geometry—and the differentiation of post-therapeutic reactive changes from meningioma relapse. Advanced metabolic imaging using PET may help to characterize specific metabolic and cellular features providing additional information beyond the information derived from anatomical imaging alone. Accordingly, the use of PET in meningioma patients is steadily increasing. This review summarizes recent advances in PET imaging helpful for improving the clinical management of patients with meningioma. |
