Official Title: Assessment of [18F]FLT-PET Imaging for Diagnosis and Prognosis of Brain Tumors
Study ID: NCT00850278
Brief Summary: The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of the radiopharmaceutical 3'-deoxy-3'-\[F-18\]fluorothymidine, \[F-18\]FLT, a tracor of cell proliferation, using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging for the tumor diagnosis and prognosis in a group of 50 patients with different type of brain tumors.\[F-18\]FLT PET imaging will be compared to the current used imaging techniques of MRI, spectroscopy imaging, PET imaging using \[11C\]MET tracer, immunohistochemical analysis and clinical parameters.
