TL;DR: F-18 FDOPA scan is superior to both F-18 FLT and F- 18 FDG for visualization of primary and recurrent low grade gliomas and should not be considered for evaluation of recurrent lowgrade glioma.

TL;DR: MET should be the radiotracer of choice in the evaluation of recurrence of primary brain tumors because the sensitivity for detection and delineation of the possible recurrent tumor, as well as secondary deposits, is higher with MET.

TL;DR: Fluorodeoxyglucose-PET performed at the time of initial referral for parkinsonism is useful for the differential diagnosis of IPD, PSP, MSA, and CBS.

TL;DR: Although 11C-MET PET/CT seemed to be more sensitive, whereas advanced MRI seemed more specific, there was no statistically significant difference in the diagnostic performance of either modality in the present study.

TL;DR: The present results did not demonstrate significant difference in the kinetics of 18FDG distribution in male and female patients, and the estimated PET/CT doses were found to be higher than many other conventional diagnostic radiology examinations suggesting that all efforts should be made to clinically justify and carefully weigh the risk-benefit ratios prior to every 18 FDG whole bodyPET/CT scan.
