Abstract: Fibroblast Activation Protein (FAP)-specific Positron Emission Tomography (PET) has shown promising results in various cancers. This pilot study compares FAP-specific PET to MRI for treatment planning in 13 Glioblastoma patients. The resulting incongruent volumes could provide additional information for radiotherapy or biopsy planning.<br /> (Copyright © 2020 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.)
