abstract = {Ziel/Aim:O-(2-[18F]fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine([18F]-FET) PET
is used for the supportive diagnostics of cerebral gliomas.
In this study, the relationship between the [18F]-FET-PET
parameters, distribution of restricted (mainly
intracellular) and unrestricted (mainly extracellular)
sodium, and the mutational status of the enzyme isocitrate
dehydrogenase (IDH) were investigated in patients with
cerebral gliomas.Methodik/Methods:Ten patients with
untreated gliomas and one patient with a recurrent
glioblastoma were investigated by dynamic [18F]-FET-PET and
sodium MRI using an enhanced SISTINA sequence to estimate
sodium parameters in tumours. The enhanced SISTINA sequence
uses single-quantum and triple-quantum-filtered imaging and
allows simultaneous acquisition of signal originating from
restricted and unrestricted sodium (1). IDH mutational
status was determined after biopsy or resection. The
untreated patients were analysed independently in two groups
(5 patients each) dependent on their IDH mutational
status.Ergebnisse/Results:Tumour-to-brain ratio (TBR) of
weighted mainly intracellular sodium (NaR) was significantly
lower in IDH mutated (p=0.01) than in IDH wildtype gliomas.
Total sodium concentration in mmol/L (p=0.05), TBR of the
total sodium concentration (NaT) (p=0.02), TBR of weighted
unrestricted mainly extracellular sodium (NaNR) (p=0.003),
and the ratio of NaT/NaR (p<0.001) were significantly higher
in IDH mutated than in IDH wildtype gliomas. [18F]-FET
parameters estimated from tracer dynamics curves (TBR,
time-to-peak) correlated neither to the IDH status nor to
the sodium distribution. The patient with a recurrent GBM
exhibited an additional radiation injury with strong
abnormalities in sodium
MRI.Schlussfolgerungen/Conclusions:Acquired results show
that sodium MRI shows stronger relation to the IDH
mutational status than [18F]-FET-PET parameters in cerebral
gliomas in this patient cohort. Further evaluation of the
combination of the three diagnostic modalities in gliomas
seems promising and requires higher patient
number.Literatur/References:[1] Worthoff WA, Shymanskaya A,
