Rate of change in maximum 18 F-FDOPA PET uptake and non-enhancing tumor volume predict malignant transformation and overall survival in low-grade gliomas

ConclusionsThe change in maximum normalized18F-FDOPA PET uptake, with or without clinical information and rate of change in tumor volume, may be useful for predicting the risk of malignant transformation and estimating residual survival in patients with LGG.
