abstract = {PurposeAreas of contrast enhancement (CE) on MRI are
usually the target for resection or radiotherapy target
volume definition in glioblastomas. However, the solid
tumour mass may extend beyond areas of CE. Amino acid PET
can detect parts of the tumour that show no CE. We
systematically investigated tumour volumes delineated by
amino acid PET and MRI in patients with newly diagnosed,
untreated glioblastoma.MethodsPreoperatively, 50 patients
with neuropathologically confirmed glioblastoma underwent
O-(2-[18F]-fluoroethyl)-l-tyrosine (FET) PET, and
fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) and
contrast-enhanced MRI. Areas of CE were manually segmented.
FET PET tumour volumes were segmented using a
tumour-to-brain ratio of ≥1.6. The percentage overlap
volumes, and Dice and Jaccard spatial similarity
coefficients (DSC, JSC) were calculated. FLAIR images were
evaluated visually.ResultsIn 43 patients $(86\%),$ the FET
tumour volume was significantly larger than the CE volume
(21.5 ± 14.3 mL vs. 9.4 ± 11.3 mL; P < 0.001).
Forty patients $(80\%)$ showed both increased uptake of FET
and CE. In these 40 patients, the spatial similarity between
FET uptake and CE was low (mean DSC 0.39 ± 0.21, mean
JSC 0.26 ± 0.16). Ten patients $(20\%)$ showed no CE,
and one of these patients showed no FET uptake. In five
patients $(10\%),$ increased FET uptake was present outside
areas of FLAIR hyperintensity.ConclusionOur results show
that the metabolically active tumour volume delineated by
FET PET is significantly larger than tumour volume
delineated by CE. Furthermore, the results strongly suggest
that the information derived from both imaging modalities
should be integrated into the management of patients with
newly diagnosed glioblastoma.},
