| Abstract | PET imaging has emerged as a valuable tool in the evaluation of gliomas and meningiomas. Amino acid tracers, improve detection of both enhancing and nonenhancing gliomas, prediction of prognosis, evaluation of tumor extent, and assessment of treatment response. Radiolabeled somatostatin receptor ligands improve tumor characterization, grading, and treatment response assessment in meningiomas. Emerging theranostic applications, such as peptide receptor radionuclide therapy, offer new strategies for recurrent or high-risk cases. Continued research on PET-based imaging and theranostic approaches is needed to optimize treatment outcomes for patients with intracranial neoplasms. |
