Visual and semi-quantitative analysis of 6-[18F]FDOPA PET/CT in patients with brain tumors and suspected tumor recurrence versus radionecrosis
Introduction
Amino acid PET is a tool recommended by the main neuroimaging societies in the differential diagnosis between radionecrosis (RNC) and umour recurrence (TR) in brain tumours, but its use in our country is still limited. The aim of this work is to present our experience with 6-[18F]FDOPA PET/CT (FDOPA) in brain tumours (primary and M1), comparing these results with other published results.
Material and methods
Retrospective study of 62 patients with suspected tumour recurrence (TR): 42 brain metastases (M1) and 20 primary, who underwent FDOPA. Images were analysed visually and semi-quantitatively, obtaining SUVmax and SUVmaxlesion/SUVmaxstriatum (L/S) and SUVmaxlesion/SUVmaxcortex (L/C) ratios. The diagnostic validity of PET was analysed and the best performing cut-off points were calculated. PET results were compared with clinical-radiological follow-up and/or histopathology.
Results
TR was identified in 49% of M1 and 76% of brain primaries. The best performing FDOPA interpretation was visual and semi-quantitative, with a sensitivity and specificity in primaries of 94% and 80% and in M1s of 96% and 72% respectively. The cut-off points with the best diagnostic performance were L/C1.44 in M1 and L/C1.55 in primaries. There are discrepant results with other published results.
Conclusion
FDOPA PET/CT is a useful tool in the differential diagnosis between recurrence and RNC in brain tumours. It is needed a standardization to contribute to homogenise FDOPA results a inter-centre level.
