Comparison of 11C-Methionine, 11C-Choline, and 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose-Positron Emission Tomography for Distinguishing Glioma Recurrence from Radiation Necrosis
The aim of this study is to assess the different metabolic activities characteristic of glioma recurrence and radiation necrosis (RN) and to explore the diagnostic accuracy for differentiation of the two conditions using (11)C-methionine (MET), (11)C-choline (CHO), and (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET). Fifty patients with lesions suggestive of recurrent glioma b...
متن کاملComparison of F-18 Fluorodeoxyglucose and F-18 Fluorothymidine Positron Emission Tomography in Differentiating Radiation Necrosis from Recurrent Glioma
Purpose of the Report—The objective was to compare F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and F-18 fluorothymidine (FLT) positron emission tomography (PET) in differentiating radiation necrosis from recurrent glioma. Materials and methods—Visual and quantitative analyses were derived from static FDG PET and static and dynamic FLT PET in 15 patients with suspected recurrence of treated ≥ grade II glioma ...
متن کاملComparison of magnetic resonance spectroscopy and diffusion weighted imaging in the differentiation of glioma recurrence from radiation necrosis: meta-analysis
Aim: The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) for the diagnosis of differentiating glioma recurrence from radiation necrosis through a meta-analysis. Methods: We performed a meta-analysis of all available studies of the diagnostic performance of DWI and MRS for differentiatin...
متن کاملComparison of brain SPECT with 99mTc-MIBI and CT-scan in discriminating of radiation necrosis and brain tumor recurrence [Persian]
Introduction: 99mTc-MIBI has been proposed for use as an imaging agent for various tumors, including breast cancer, lung cancer, lymphomas, melanomas and brain neoplastic lesions. Brain tumors are very common and radiotherapy being major part of treatment following surgery. After radiotherapy, deteriorating clinical status can be due to either radiation necrosis or recurrent tumor. Comput...
متن کاملThe performance of 11C-Methionine PET in the differential diagnosis of glioma recurrence
Despite the advancement of neuroimaging techniques, it often remains a diagnostic challenge to distinguish recurrent glioma from lesions representing treatment effect. Preliminary reports suggest that 11C-methionine Positron emission tomography (PET) can assist in diagnosing true glioma recurrence. We present here a meta-analysis to assess the accuracy of 11C-methionine PET in identifying recur...
