Post-treatment Assessment of Glioblastoma Multiforme: Imaging with Fluorodeoxyglucose, Sestamibi, and Choline

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary brain tumor in adults, and is generally of poor prognosis. The post-treatment assessment of GBMs is a known diagnostic issue, with problems in the differentiation of viable remnant tumor and post-treatment inflammatory changes. We present a ca...

description Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary brain tumor in adults, and is generally of poor prognosis. The post-treatment assessment of GBMs is a known diagnostic issue, with problems in the differentiation of viable remnant tumor and post-treatment inflammatory changes. We present a case where various molecular tracers (fluorodeoxyglucose, choline, and methoxyisobutylisonitrile) were used in the post-treatment assessment of a patient with histologically proven GBM.
