Abstract
Background: PET/CT and PET/MRI are two useful imaging modalities in neuro-oncology. Our aim was to review the existing literature on the benefits and drawbacks of using PET/CT and PET/MRI in the diagnosis of central nervous system (CNS) tumors.
Methods: A literature search was conducted using valid databases, limited to English-language articles published between 2010 and 2023, and independently reviewed by two reviewers. A standard data extraction form was used to extract data from the included papers. The results were condensed and narratively presented, accompanied by supporting data from the included investigations.
Results: The study analyzed 28 articles, mostly from Europe. The results varied, with some studies comparing PET/CT and PET/MRI, examining specific types of brain tumors, pediatric tumors, or focusing on specific PET/CT or PET/MRI modalities. The synthesis aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of PET/CT and PET/MRI use in CNS malignancies.
Conclusions: PET/MRI offers promising advantages in neuro-oncology diagnosis and follow-up imaging, but its use should be prioritized in appropriate situations.
