ACE PET is a potentially useful radiotracer for detecting brain gliomas and differentiating high-grade gliomas.

In NSCLC, FLT PET showed better (although not statistically significant) specificity, positive predictive value and accuracy for N staging on a per-patient basis than FDG PET. However, FDG PET was found to have higher sensitivity for depiction of primary tumor than FLT PET.

Dual-time-point FDG-PET (combined delayed PET and RI) showed better (although not statistically significant) specificity, positive predictive value, and accuracy than early or delayed PET alone for lymph node staging in NSCLC.

The direct measurement of the regional rate constants by kinetic analysis might be useful for the delineation of CNS lymphoma and for differential diagnosis of high-grade glioma and CNS lymphoma.

FDG PET could be useful for differential diagnosis of malignancy from benign disease in patients with biliary stricture. Especially, the delayed targeted FDG PET imaging can be recommended in those patients when early imaging is negative or equivalent, because of increased lesion uptake and increased lesion to background contrast ratio.
