Fractal analysis of 11C-methionine PET in patients with newly diagnosed glioma

Abstract Background The present study tested the possible utility of fractal analysis from l-[methyl-11C]-methionine (MET) uptake in patients with newly diagnosed gliomas for differentiating glioma, especially in relation to isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutation status, and as compared with the...

Tumors were divided into three groups: lower grade glioma (IDH1-mutant diffuse astrocytoma and IDH1-mutant anaplastic astrocytoma), higher grade glioma (IDH1-wildtype diffuse astrocytoma and IDH1-wildtype anaplastic astrocytoma), and glioblastoma. The fractal dimension for tumor, maximum SUV (SUVmax) for tumor (T) and mean SUV for normal contralateral hemisphere (N) were calculated, and the tumor-to-normal (T/N) ratio was determined. Metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and total lesion MET uptake (TLMU) were also measured. Results There were significant differences in SUVmax (p = 0.006) and T/N ratio (p = 0.02) between lower grade glioma and glioblastoma. There were no significant differences among any of the three groups in MTV or TLMU. Significant differences were obtained in the fractal dimension between lower grade glioma and higher grade glioma (p = 0.006) and glioblastoma (p < 0.001).
