Diagnostic value of PET/CT with 11 C-methionine (MET) and 18 F-fluorothymidine (FLT) in newly diagnosed glioma based on the 2016 WHO classification

ConclusionThis study showed that FLT-PET/CT can be used to determine theIDH1 mutation status and evaluate glioma grade more accurately than MET-PET/CT. FLT-PET/CT can improve glioma differentiation based on the 2016 WHO classification, but caution must be paid for tumours without contrast enhancement and further studies should be conducted with more cases.
