(CE) in MRI is 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 such tumour parts that show no
CE. We systematically investigated tumour volumes delineated
by amino acid PET and MRI in newly diagnosed, untreated
glioblastoma patients.Methodik/Methods:Preoperatively, 50
patients with neuropathologically confirmed glioblastoma
underwent O-(2-[F-18]-fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine (FET) PET,
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 of overlapping
volumes (OV), Dice and Jaccard spatial similarity
coefficients (DSC; JSC) were calculated. FLAIR images were
evaluated visually.Ergebnisse/Results:In $86\%$ of patients
(n = 43), the FET tumour volume was significantly larger
than the volume of CE (21.5 ± 14.3 mL vs. 9.4 ± 11.3 mL; P
< 0.001). Forty patients $(80\%)$ showed both an increased
uptake of FET and CE. In these 40 patients, the spatial
similarity between FET 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
$10\%$ of patients (n = 5), increased FET uptake was present
outside of areas of FLAIR
hyperintensity.Schlussfolgerungen/Conclusions:Our data show
that the metabolically active tumour volume delineated by
FET PET is significantly larger than tumour volume
delineated by CE. Furthermore, the data strongly suggest
that the information derived from both imaging modalities
should be integrated into the management of newly diagnosed
glioblastoma patients.},
