Abstract. Brain metastases (BM) from extracranial cancer are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Effective local treatment options are stereotactic radiotherapy, including radiosurgery or fractionated external beam radiotherapy, and surgical resection.
TESTS AND PROCEDURES. Positron Emission Tomography (PET/CT) Scan for the Brain. Brain PET/CT is a scan that reveals changes in the brain. It also shows how well the brain is working. This test provides more detail than other scans, X-rays, or more invasive testing.
A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test that can help reveal the metabolic or biochemical function of your tissues and organs. The PET scan uses a radioactive drug called a tracer to show both typical and atypical metabolic activity.
PET scan images can detect cellular changes in organs and tissues earlier than CT and MRI scans. Your healthcare provider may perform a PET scan and CT scan at the same time (PET-CT). This combination test produces 3D images that allow for a more accurate diagnosis.
The tracer helps us see how much energy your brain cells are using. We measure this with a PET/CT FDG scan. The PET/CT camera will take 2 types of pictures of your brain: • The PET scan shows where the tracer has collected. • The CT scan provides detailed pictures of tissues and structures.
