About
Juliane Hardt is a leading researcher in neuro-oncological imaging, with a focused expertise in the differentiation of post-treatment brain changes using advanced PET/CT techniques. Her work centers on the critical challenge of distinguishing recurrent primary brain tumors and brain metastases from radiation necrosis following single-session robotic radiosurgery, particularly with the CyberKnife system. Hardt’s major contribution lies in demonstrating the utility of dynamic 18F-FET PET/CT to capture the distinct radiometabolic changes that occur after high-dose, precisely targeted radiotherapy—a modality known for its steep dose gradient but also a higher incidence of radiation necrosis. Her 2022 paper on this topic has garnered 4 citations, laying essential groundwork for non-invasive diagnostic accuracy in neuro-oncology. By elucidating the temporal metabolic patterns of treated lesions, Hardt’s research directly impacts clinical decision-making, helping to avoid unnecessary biopsies and guide appropriate therapeutic interventions. Her work is pivotal for radiation oncologists, neurosurgeons, and nuclear medicine specialists seeking to optimize post-treatment surveillance in brain tumor patients.
