Application of 11C-choline and 18F-FDG PET/CT in diagnosing brain glioma

    Abstract
  • Objective To study the value of PET/CT using 11C-choline and that of PET/CT using 18F-FDG for the diagnosis of brain glioma.
    Methods Twenty-one cases of suspected brain glioma were examined. 11C-choline PET/CT and 18F-FDGPET/CT were performed on each patient to analyze the relevance of maximum standardized uptake value(SUVmax) of 11C-choline and 18F-FDG to the age and pathological types of patients with glioma.
    Results Of 21 patients, there was no significant correlation between SUVmax of 11C-choline and 18F-FDG and their age, and between SUVmax of 18F-FDG and benign and malignant tumors among patients, whereas there was certain correlation between SUVmax of 11C-choline and benign and malignant tumors among patients.
    Conclusion 11C-choline PET/CT is of great clinical value in diagnosing and differentiating brain glioma.
