Example of Artificial Intelligence–Based Decision Support for Amino Acid PET: Early Prediction of Suspected Brain Tumor Foci for Patient Management

Journal of Nuclear Medicine, vol. 65, pp. 1160

Abstract

A 43-y-old man with equivocal findings on anatomic MRI underwent additional O -(2-[18F]fluoroethyl)-l-tyrosine (18F-FET) PET for further diagnosis of a suspected glioma. MRI showed no contrast enhancement, but fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) hyperintensities were apparent in the left
