The evolution of radiation necrosis (RN) varies depending on the combination of radionecrotic tissue and active tumor cells. In this study, we characterized the long-term metabolic evolution of RN by sequential PET/CT imaging with 3,4‑dihydroxy‑6‑[ 18F]‑fluoro-l‑phenylalanine (F-DOPA) in patients with brain metastases following stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).

Abstract

The evolution of radiation necrosis (RN) varies depending on the combination of radionecrotic tissue and active tumor cells. In this study, we characterized the long-term metabolic evolution of RN by sequential PET/CT imaging with 3,4‑dihydroxy‑6‑[ 18F]‑fluoro-l‑phenylalanine (F-DOPA) in patients with brain metastases following stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).
