Abstract: 18F-FET PET imaging had its fundamental principle introduced, and then had its application to brain glioma diagnosis described from the aspects of patient survival period estimation, facilitating radiotherapy planning, post-radiotherapy effect monitoring and pseudoprogression neuroimaging evaluation. The advantages and disadvantages of 18F-FET PET were analyzed when used to diagnose brain glioma, and it's pointed out that 18F-FET PET combined with structural imaging technologies such as MRI spectral analysis, perfusion and diffusion-weighted imaging contributed to enhancing the accuracy of brain glioma diagnosis, positioning, differentiating, grading, prognosis prediction and treatment.
