Zusammenfassung

Neurologische Fragestellungen haben in der Positronen-Emissions-Tomografie seit vielen Jahren einen festen Stellenwert. In dieser Übersichtsarbeit werden in der Klinik gängige Untersuchungsmethoden bei der Demenzdiagnostik, Abklärung von Bewegungsstörungen sowie der Epilepsiediagnostik unter Berücksichtigung aktueller Leitlinien dargestellt und durch aktuelle Entwicklungen in der Wissenschaft erweitert. Ebenso wird die nuklearmedizinische Diagnostik von Hirntumoren samt theragnostischem Ausblick aufgezeigt. In einem weiteren Subkapitel wird die Entwicklung im Bereich der Neuroinflammation erläutert. Insgesamt lässt sich festhalten, dass in der Neuronuklearmedizin in den letzten Jahren einige Neuentwicklungen hervorgebracht wurden, welche sicherlich ihren Stellenwert auch in der klinischen Routine finden werden.

Abstract

Neurological investigations have an established role in positron-emission-tomography for many years. In this review, clinical routine PET procedures will be presented for diagnoses related to dementia, movement disorders and epilepsy, taking into consideration the current guidelines. Furthermore latest findings and ongoing research will be presented. Complemented by the diagnostics of brain tumors including theragnostic aspects the paper will finalize with latest developments in the field of neuroinflammation. In summary, there have been several new developments in neuro-PET in recent years, which will find their role in future clinical routine.
