| Popis: | Postoperative assessment is crucial in the imaging follow-up and prognosis in patients with glioma. Whereas grade of resection is defined attending to the gadolinium enhancement in early postoperative MRI, no metabolical criteria exist for postoperative PET interpretation. Based on our prospective and multicenter FuMeGA (Functional and Metabolic Glioma Analysis) ongoing study, we propose criteria for the visual interpretation of F-fluorocholine PET scans in patients undergoing brain tumor resection. The different imaging characteristics between MRI and PET may explain the discordances regarding to the postresection status with both techniques. |
