Brief Title: FET-PET for Diagnosis and Monitoring in Patients With Low Grade Glioma
Official Title: Molecular Correlates and Clinical Significance of Positron Emission Tomography With FET-PET in Combination With Perfusion-weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PWI) in Patients With Low Grade Gliomas
Study ID: NCT01089244
Brief Summary: The aim of the study is to compare the two imaging modalities perfusion weighted MR-imaging and FET-PET in their ability to provide an accurate histological evaluation of low grade glioma and to reveal focal abnormalities within a homogeneously appearing tumor. Additionally, therapeutic effects should be assessed during a time period of two years.
