AbstractAbstract
[en] The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the efficacy of PET and (C-11)-L-methionine (methionine-PET) to determine the grade of malignancy and the extent of the glioma. We examined 46 patients with cerebral glioma by using methionine-PET. Methionine-PET showed increased accumulation of (C-11)-L-methionine in the glioma regardless of the grade of malignancy. The (C-11)-L-methionine accumulated more widely than the area of abnormalities on CT scans in most cases, which were surgically confirmed that methionine-PET better delineated the extent of the glioma than CT. Methionine-PET has a great ability to assess the extent rather than the grade of malignancy of glioma
