Radioactive amino-acids accumulate in gliomas even with an intact blood-brain-barrier. L-3-[(123)I]-iodo-alpha-methyl-tyrosine (IMT) is well established for SPECT imaging of gliomas. Recently, we introduced p-[(123)I]-iodo-L-phenylalanine (IPA) for the characterisation of brain lesions. This study compares both tracers in glioma patients. Eleven
