Abstract
Aim: To explore the correlation between isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation status and 18F-deoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET/computed tomography (CT) metabolic parameters in gliomas, and screen imaging biomarkers for preoperative prediction of IDH genotype.
Methods: Clinical and preoperative PET/CT data of 85 pathologically confirmed glioma patients were retrospectively analyzed, including 34 IDH-mutant and 51 IDH-wild-type cases. Lesion maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax), SUVmax T/C (lesion-to-contralateral cortex) and SUVmax T/W (lesion-to-contralateral white matter) were measured. Intergroup differences were compared via one-way analysis of variance, and receiver operating characteristic curves were applied to assess the predictive efficacy of significant parameters.
Results: All three metabolic indices were markedly elevated in IDH-wild-type tumors: SUVmax (11.77 ± 5.94 vs. 9.46 ± 3.30; P = 0.042), SUVmax T/C (1.63 ± 0.67 vs. 1.34 ± 0.40; P = 0.028), SUVmax T/W (2.80 ± 1.19 vs. 2.31 ± 0.63; P = 0.024). SUVmax T/C [area under the curve (AUC) = 0.671] and SUVmax T/W (AUC = 0.668) showed moderate predictive value, whereas SUVmax had poor performance (AUC = 0.339). Patients with IDH mutation were significantly younger.
Conclusion: IDH-wild-type gliomas present stronger glycolytic metabolism. 18F-FDG PET/CT-derived SUVmax, SUVmax T/C, and SUVmax T/W allow noninvasive preoperative evaluation of IDH status, with normalized ratio parameters demonstrating better diagnostic stability. Higher metabolic heterogeneity exists in IDH-wild-type gliomas.
期刊介绍:
Nuclear Medicine Communications, the official journal of the British Nuclear Medicine Society, is a rapid communications journal covering nuclear medicine and molecular imaging with radionuclides, and the basic supporting sciences. As well as clinical research and commentary, manuscripts describing research on preclinical and basic sciences (radiochemistry, radiopharmacy, radiobiology, radiopharmacology, medical physics, computing and engineering, and technical and nursing professions involved in delivering nuclear medicine services) are welcomed, as the journal is intended to be of interest internationally to all members of the many medical and non-medical disciplines involved in nuclear medicine. In addition to papers reporting original studies, frankly written editorials and topical reviews are a regular feature of the journal.
