Fractal analysis of 11C-methionine PET in patients with newly diagnosed glioma

The present study tested the possible utility of fractal analysis from L-[methyl-11C]-methionine (MET) uptake in patients with newly diagnosed gliomas for differentiating glioma, especially in relation to isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutation status, and as compared with the conventional standardized uptake value (SUV) parameters.Investigations of MET PET/CT were performed retrospectively in 47 patients with newly diagnosed glioma.
