Brief Title: Study of 18F-FEC for Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography (PET-CT) Imaging of GBM
Official Title: Use of PET/CT Imaging With 18F-fluoroethylcholine (FEC) in the Evaluation of Patients Treated With Radiotherapy and Temozolomide Following a Diagnosis of Glioblastoma Multiforme
Study ID: NCT00943462
Brief Summary: Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography (PET-CT) with injection of 18F-fluoroethylcholine (FEC) could be a useful tool in the evaluation and follow-up of patients who have been diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and who are treated with radiotherapy and temozolomide by allowing, for example, the distinction of necrosis from tumour tissue. This tool could help the clinician in making therapeutic decisions for GBM patients.
