Résumé

PET plays an increasingly important role in the management of brain tumors. This review outlines currently available PET radiotracers and their respective indications. It specifically focuses on F-FDG, amino acid and somatostatin receptor radiotracers, for imaging gliomas, meningiomas, primary central nervous system lymphomas as well as brain metastases. Recent advances in radiopharmaceuticals, image analyses and translational applications to therapy are also discussed. The objective of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of PET imaging's potential in neuro-oncology as an adjunct to brain MRI for all medical professionals implicated in brain tumor diagnosis and care.
