Comparisons Between PET With 11C-Methyl-L-Methionine and Arterial Spin Labeling Perfusion Imaging in Recurrent Glioblastomas Treated With Bevacizumab

Conclusions Blood flows on ASL correlated with accumulations of 11C-met on PET in recurrent glioblastoma under BEV treatment. Although 11C-met-PET offered superior accuracy for predicting patients with long PFS from time points, ASL offered reliable prediction of long PFS, provided that fluctuations in T/N ratio between consecutive scans are assessed.
