Summary

This study looked at whether a type of PET scan called FDOPA-PET can help doctors tell the difference between brain tumors and non-cancerous brain lesions. Researchers reviewed scans from 74 patients with suspected brain tumors. They measured how much of the tracer the lesions took up to find the best way to tell tumors apart from other conditions.
