Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging. 2008 Jun 10. PURPOSE: The purpose of this prospective study was to clarify the individual and combined role of L: -methyl- (11) C-methionine-positron emission tomography (MET-PET) and 3 ’-deoxy-3’ - [(18) F] fluorothymidine (FLT) -PET in tumor detection, noninvasive grad-ing, and assessment of the cellular proliferation rate in newly diagnosed histologically verified gliomas of different grades.
