Materials and MethodsPatients who underwent both FDG-PET and MET-PET, as well as surgical treatment, were retrospectively identified. All tumors were diagnosed histologically and included 44 high-grade and 19 low-grade gliomas. Metabolic indices of tumor-to-normal (T/N) ratio and maximum value within the tumor itself were compared between high-and low-grade tumors. A calculation method for potential infiltrative tumor volume was developed and compared between these 2 grades.ResultsT/N, calculated as tumor value divided by normal cortex value, was the most effective (area under the curve, 0.800 for FDG-PET; area under the curve, 0.773 for MET-PET) for differentiating high-and low-grade gliomas. Potential infiltrative volume effectively distinguished between high-and low-grade glioma (43.8±30.2 mL vs 14.0±12.6 mL; P= 0.005 [t test]). A combination of T/N, with a cutoff value of 0.9 or higher on FDG-PET and/or 3.0 or higher on MET-PET, and potential infiltrative volume, with a cutoff value of 20.0 mL or higher, provided a diagnostic accuracy of 89% in distinguishing high-from low-grade gliomas.ConclusionsEvaluation of potential infiltrative volume surrounding the tumor core area, in addition to the T/N ratio of the tumor core, may help distinguish between high-and low-grade gliomas.
