Abstract

O-(2-[18F]fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine ([18F]FET) is an established positron emission tomography (PET) tracer for brain tumor imaging. This study explores the influence of dexamethasone therapy on [18F]FET uptake in the normal brain and its influence on the maximum and mean tumor-to-brain ratio (TBR).
