18F-Fluciclovine PET enables accurate and safe resection of malignant brain tumors: illustrative cases
18F-FACBC PET can aid in the accurate resection of malignant brain tumors and improve outcomes. Yet, the mechanisms of uptake and visualization remain unclear. Larger cohort studies are needed to confirm the long-term efficacy of this promising imaging tool. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25707.
