Purpose: To standarize an acquisition protocol for the study of myocardial metabolism in adult rats.

Material And Methods: Three Wistar adult male rats were studied in three different protocols: no fasting group, fasting group over a period of 12 hr before the study with only water provided ad libitum, and fasting group by the same time receiving an oral 50% glucose solution. Thirty-minute acquisition images were obtained with a micro-PET, thirty and sixty minutes after the administration of 370-555 MBq 18F-FDG.

Objective: To evaluate the role of PET and MRI fused image study inpatients with primary brain tumors previously treated, to determine the presence of radionecrosis vs residual tumor viability.

Methods: Primary brain tumors were diagnosed by biopse and MR. 18FDG-PET scan and T1 enhanced MRI follow-up studies were performed between 3 and 5 months after treatment.
