Abstract

(1) Background: Standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) remains the gold standard for brain tumour imaging in paediatric and teenage and young adult (TYA) patients. Combining positron emission tomography (PET) with MRI offers an opportunity to improve diagnostic accuracy. (2) Method: Our single-centre experience of (18)F-fluorocholine (FCho) and (18)fluoro-L-phenylalanine (FDOPA) PET-MRI in paediatric/TYA neuro-oncology patients is presented. (3) Results: Hybrid PET-MRI shows promise in the evaluation of gliomas and germ cell tumours in (i) assessing early treatment response and (ii) discriminating tumour from treatment-related changes. (4) Conclusions: Combined PET-MRI shows promise for improved diagnostic and therapeutic assessment in paediatric and TYA brain tumours.
