Can early postoperative FET-PET after the resection of a glioblastoma predict the location of later tumor recurrence?

Glioblastoma inevitably recurs despite aggressive therapy. Therefore, it would be helpful to predict the location of tumor recurrence from postoperative imaging to customize further treatment. FET-PET might be a helpful technique, since it can differentiate tumor tissue from normal brain tissue with high specificity.
