Implication

Retrospective analysis reveals [18F]FET PET effectively differentiates brain neoplasms from non-neoplastic lesions, indicating strong diagnostic potential in new cases.

Key Points

BNLs showed significantly higher TBRmax than NNLs (3.82 vs 2.36), indicating effective differentiation by [18F]FET PET.
The ROC analysis established a TBRmax cutoff of 2.77; sensitivity at 86.7% and specificity at 78.6% for distinguishing lesions.
Higher TBRmax values in high-grade tumors than in low-grade gliomas or NNLs (4.18 vs 2.52) suggest effective grading capabilities.
[18F]FET PET offers critical diagnostic insights for distinguishing between different types of brain lesions at diagnosis.
