The association of spatially resolved FET uptake and MRS
measures was investigated in high- and low-grade gliomas
using a hybrid PET-MR scanner. This is intended to
increase the sensitivity of the detection of FET
negative low-grade tumours in the future. The MR
spectral analysis was carried through with respect to
choline, N-acetyl-aspartate, myo-inositol and lactate. 9
low-grade and 9 high-grade gliomas showed no clear
association between FET uptake und the pattern of
altered metabolite levels. Further investigations on a
larger number of subjects are required.
