abstract = {ObjectiveWe aimed to evaluate the diagnostic potential of
dual-time-point imaging with positron emission tomography
(PET) using O-(2-[18F]fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine (18F-FET) for
non-invasive grading of cerebral gliomas compared with a
dynamic approach.MethodsThirty-six patients with
histologically confirmed cerebral gliomas (21 primary, 15
recurrent; 24 high-grade, 12 low-grade) underwent dynamic
PET from 0 to 50 min post-injection (p.i.) of 18F-FET, and
additionally from 70 to 90 min p.i. Mean tumour-to-brain
ratios (TBRmean) of 18F-FET uptake were determined in early
(20–40 min p.i.) and late (70–90 min p.i.) examinations.
Time–activity curves (TAC) of the tumours from 0 to 50 min
after injection were assigned to different patterns. The
diagnostic accuracy of changes of 18F-FET uptake between
early and late examinations for tumour grading was compared
to that of curve pattern analysis from 0 to 50 min p.i. of
18F-FET.ResultsThe diagnostic accuracy of changes of the
TBRmean of 18F-FET PET uptake between early and late
examinations for the identification of HGG was 81 $\%$
(sensitivity 83 $\%;$ specificity 75 $\%;$ cutoff - 8 $\%;$
p < 0.001), and 83 $\%$ for curve pattern analysis
(sensitivity 88 $\%;$ specificity 75 $\%;$
p < 0.001).ConclusionDual-time-point imaging of 18F-FET
uptake in gliomas achieves diagnostic accuracy for tumour
grading that is similar to the more time-consuming dynamic
data acquisition protocol.Key Points• Dual-time-point
imaging is equivalent to dynamic FET PET for grading of
gliomas.• Dual-time-point imaging is less time consuming
than dynamic FET PET.• Costs can be reduced due to higher
patient throughput.• Reduced imaging time increases
patient comfort and sedation might be avoided.• Quicker
image interpretation is possible, as no curve evaluation is
necessary.},
