Abstract:
Positron emission tomography,a kind of functional imaging technology might reflect tissue metabolism,and had become an important tool in oncologic study.Radiolabelled glucose,amino acid and ligand are commonly used as PET tracer in meningioma diagnosis.Various tracers reproduce different aspects of meningioma metabolism,while meningioma proliferation rate closely related to functional activity.PET could give us information on meningioma biologic characters in vivo atraumatically.As a functional imaging technology,PET had shown incomparable advantage in differential diagnosis of meningioma,and monitoring therapeutic response of meningioma.
