The Brain PET Scan with FET (Fluoroethyl-L-Tyrosine PET Scan) is an advanced molecular imaging technique specially designed to evaluate brain tumours, including gliomas and other primary or recurrent brain cancers.

FET is an amino-acid–based radiotracer that accumulates in tumour cells due to their increased amino acid transport activity, allowing highly accurate imaging of tumour metabolism. Unlike FDG, which may show high background uptake in normal brain tissue, FET PET provides exceptional tumour-to-background contrast, making it one of the most reliable tools for brain tumour assessment.

This package includes a complete FET Brain PET/CT performed by expert nuclear medicine specialists using high-resolution PET-CT scanners. The test delivers clear, detailed visualisation of tumour boundaries, tumour grade behaviour, residual disease after surgery, and post-therapy changes.

FET PET is now considered a gold-standard imaging modality in neuro-oncology due to its precision in distinguishing tumour progression from radiation necrosis and its role in personalised treatment planning.

Information related to Treatment

A Brain PET Scan with FET uses an amino acid–based radiotracer (Fluoroethyl-L-Tyrosine) to detect and map brain tumours with high clarity.

The tracer accumulates in brain tumour cells, enabling accurate assessment of tumour activity, spread, and recurrence.

FET PET provides key diagnostic and treatment insights, helping clinicians:

  • Detect primary and recurrent brain tumours
  • Delineate tumour margins for surgery or radiotherapy
  • Differentiate tumour recurrence from radiation necrosis
  • Evaluate suspected residual disease after surgery
  • Monitor response to chemotherapy or radiotherapy
  • Improve radiotherapy planning by mapping metabolically active tumour zones

It is especially valuable when MRI findings are inconclusive or ambiguous.

  • A small dose of FET radiotracer is injected intravenously.
  • After a short uptake period (typically 20 minutes), specialised brain images are acquired via PET/CT.
  • The scan itself takes about 20–30 minutes.
  • Total procedure time is usually 45–60 minutes.

Yes. FET PET uses a low and clinically safe dose of radiation.

The amino-acid tracer is well tolerated and naturally cleared from the body through normal metabolism and hydration within hours.

Preparation is simple. You may be advised to:

  • Avoid vigorous exercise before the test
  • Stay hydrated
  • Continue medications unless instructed otherwise
  • Avoid eating or drinking a few hours before the scan (as per centre protocol)

Your healthcare team will provide specific instructions.

Doctors may recommend FET PET if:

  • You have a suspected brain tumour and need metabolic evaluation
  • MRI results are unclear or conflicting
  • You have undergone surgery and need assessment of residual disease
  • There is concern for tumour recurrence vs. treatment-related changes
  • You are undergoing treatment and need therapy-response evaluation
  • You require accurate tumour mapping for radiation planning

FET PET assists in diagnosing and assessing:

  • Gliomas (low-grade and high-grade)
  • Recurrent or progressive brain tumours
  • Tumour boundaries for surgical planning
  • Active tumour tissue vs. radiation necrosis
  • Treatment-resistant tumour regions
