简要总结
Evaluation of the diagnostic and prognostic role of PET with Amino Acid Radiotracers associated with simultaneous acquisition of MRI with administration of paramagnetic contrast medium based on Gadobutrol in assessing diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic response in adult individuals affected by primary and secondary brain tumors. This is a purely observational study that does not introduce any procedures beyond those already scheduled as part of routine clinical practice. All imaging procedures and clinical assessments will be performed exclusively within the standard care pathway. This study will analyze two cohorts of patients:
1. Cohort A: Adult patients with primary or secondary brain tumors undergoing neuro-oncological therapy, presenting with lesions suspected to be either disease progression or post-treatment changes.
2. Cohort B: Adult patients with a first diagnosis of primary or secondary brain tumor.

结局指标
主要结局
Diagnostic accuracy of PET/MRI
时间窗: Conducted at approximately the end of the planned treatment course.
Diagnostic accuracy of PET/MRI measured with sensitivity, specificity (calculated from the contingency table as follows: Sensitivity = True Positives / (True Positives + False Negatives) and Specificity True Negatives / (True Negatives + False Positives), positive and negative predicted value using clinical radiological or histopathology outcomes collected during standard clinical practice.
Clinical-radiological outcome
时间窗: Conducted at approximately the end of the planned treatment course
it will be defined as disease progression if serial imaging shows a \>25% increase in lesion size or the appearance of new lesions, according to RANO or BTRADS criteria.
Histopathology outcome
时间窗: Conducted at approximately the end of the planned treatment course
it involves tissue biopsy results confirmed by pathology reports
