Schon et al. [60]2020Munich, Germany46FETAPT CESTNewly diagnosed gliomaAPT and FET PET demonstrate overlapping tumor volume for newly diagnosed glioma.
Park et al. [68]2018Seoul, Korea43METAPT CESTHigh-grade gliomaAPT outperformed MET PET for differentiating recurrence.
Haubold et al. [70]2020Essen, Germany42FETMR fingerprintingCerebral gliomaFET PET with MR fingerprinting could differentiate tumor grade, ATRX mutation, IDH1 mutation, and 1p19q codeletion.
Shymanskaya et al. [73]2020Aachen, Germany11FETSISTINACerebral gliomaSISTINA predicted IDH status better than FET PET.
