abstract = {Dynamic 18F-FET PET/CT is a powerful tool for the diagnosis
of gliomas.18F-FET PET time-activity curves (TAC) allow
differentiation between histological low-grade gliomas (LGG)
and high-grade gliomas (HGG). Molecular methods such as
epigenetic profiling are of rising importance for glioma
grading and subclassification. Here, we analysed dynamic
18F-FET PET data, and the histological and epigenetic
features of 44 gliomas.Dynamic 18F-FET PET was performed in
44 patients with newly diagnosed, untreated glioma: 10 WHO
grade II glioma, 13 WHO grade III glioma and 21 glioblastoma
(GBM). All patients underwent stereotactic biopsy or tumour
resection after 18F-FET PET imaging. As well as histological
analysis of tissue samples, DNA was subjected to epigenetic
analysis using the Illumina 850 K methylation array. TACs,
standardized uptake values corrected for background uptake
in healthy tissue (SUVmax/BG), time to peak (TTP) and
kinetic modelling parameters were correlated with
histological diagnoses and with epigenetic signatures.
Multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate the
diagnostic accuracy of 18F-FET PET in relation to the tumour
groups identified by histological and methylation-based
analysis.Epigenetic profiling led to substantial tumour
reclassification, with six grade II/III gliomas reclassified
as GBM. Overlap of HGG-typical TACs and LGG-typical TACs was
dramatically reduced when tumours were clustered on the
basis of their methylation profile. SUVmax/BG values of GBM
were higher than those of LGGs following both histological
diagnosis and methylation-based diagnosis. The differences
in TTP between GBMs and grade II/III gliomas were greater
following methylation-based diagnosis than following
histological diagnosis. Kinetic modeling showed that
relative K1 and fractal dimension (FD) values significantly
differed in histology- and methylation-based GBM and grade
II/III glioma between those diagnosed histologically and
those diagnosed by methylation analysis. Multivariate
analysis revealed slightly greater diagnostic accuracy with
methylation-based diagnosis. IDH-mutant gliomas and GBM
subgroups tended to differ in their 18F-FET PET kinetics.The
status of dynamic 18F-FET PET as a biologically and
clinically relevant imaging modality is confirmed in the
context of molecular glioma diagnosis.},
