Nuclear medicine brain tumour diagnostics/SPECT

• Diagnosis of primary brain tumours (gliomas) with FET-PET (tumour extension, biopsy site, surgery and radiation planning)
• Prognosis of low-grade gliomas with FET-PET
• Therapy monitoring of brain tumours with FET-PET (early assessment of therapy effect, recurrence diagnosis)
• Experimental evaluation of new radiopharmaceuticals in the animal model (rat, animal PET, animal MR, autoradiography)
