abstract = {AbstractBACKGROUNDIn patients with glioblastoma, the tissue
showing contrast enhancement (CE) in MRI is usually the
target for resection or radiotherapy. However, the solid
tumor mass typically extends beyond the area of CE. Amino
acid PET can detect tumor parts that show no CE. We
systematically investigated tumor volumes delineated by
amino acid PET and MRI in newly diagnosed, untreated
glioblastoma patients.MATERIAL AND METHODSPreoperatively, 50
patients with subsequently neuropathologically confirmed
glioblastoma underwent O-(2-[18F]-fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine
(FET) PET, fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), and
CE MRI. Areas of CE were manually delineated. FET PET tumor
volumes were segmented using a tumor-to-brain ratio ≥ 1.6.
The percentage of overlapping volumes (OV), as well as Dice
and Jaccard spatial similarity coefficients (DSC; JSC), were
calculated. FLAIR images were evaluated visually.RESULTSIn
$86\%$ of patients (n = 43), the FET PET tumor 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.CONCLUSIONOur results show that the
metabolically active tumor volume delineated by FET PET is
significantly larger than tumor volume delineated by CE. The
data strongly suggest that the information derived from FET
PET should be integrated into the management of newly
diagnosed glioblastoma patients.FUNDINGThis work was
