Background and Purpose
11C‐Methionine (MET)‐PET is a useful tool in neuro‐oncology. This study aimed to examine whether a combination of diagnostic variables associated with MET uptake could help distinguish between brain lesions that are often difficult to discriminate in conventional CT and MRI.
Methods
MET‐PET was assessed in 129 patients with glioblastoma multiforme, primary central nervous...
Background and Purpose
11C‐methionine (MET)‐PET is a useful tool in neuro‐oncology. The T2‐fluid‐attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) mismatch sign on MRI is a characteristic finding in lower grade gliomas with isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutations and the absence of the 1p/19q codeletion; however, the T2‐FLAIR mismatch sign has low sensitivity in differentiating gliomas and does not aid in identifying...
