preoperative assessment of meningioma aggressiveness by thallium-201 brain spect
نویسندگان
چکیده
introduction: meningioma is usually a benign brain tumor, but sometimes with aggressive course. the aim of this study was to assess the ability of 201tl brain spect to differentiate the pathologic grade of meningioma preoperatively. methods: thirty lesions in 28 patients were evaluated in this study. early (20 minutes) and late (3 hours) brain spect images were performed and early uptake ratio (eur), late uptake ratio (lur) and retention index (ri) were calculated. all patients were operated and pathologic grade of tumors were defined according to world health organization grading system. results: spect results were compared in different pathologic groups. data analysis clarified no significant difference of eur in benign and aggressive meningioma (p=0.2). however lur and ri were significantly higher in aggressive tumors (p=0.001 and p=0.02, respectively). conclusion: according to our data tl-201 brain spect with early and late imaging has 80% sensitivity and specificity to differentiate malignant from benign meningioma.

This investigation was conducted to determine the ability of 201Tl brain SPECT with respect to preoperative prediction of lesional aggressiveness of meningioma. Fifty-nine lesions in 42 patients were examined. Early (15 min) and late (3 h) SPECT were obtained. Early uptake ratio (ER; lesion to normal brain average count ratio), late uptake ratio (LR) and the ratio of LR to ER (L/E ratio) were c...
متن کاملGliosarcoma with thallium-201 SPECT.
Thallium-201 (201Tl) chloride scintigraphy is the imaging method use for the detection of various tumors including glioblastoma, but only limited information on 201Tl uptake in gliosarcoma is available. We investigated a patient with gliosarcoma by means of 201Tl single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and MRI. SPECT imaging revealed high 201Tl uptake in the tumor, which was closely ...
