N2 - Introduction . The radiotracer L-[methyl- 11 C]methionine (Met) has long been considered the tracer of choice in CNS tumors diagnosis using positron emission tomography, combined with computed tomography (PET/CT). However, there are more and more logistic arguments for the introduction of fluorinated amino acids into diagnostics, in particular, O -2-[ 18 F]fluoroethyl-L-tyrosine (FET), for which our institute has developed its own method of radiochemical synthesis. The aim of the study was to compare amino acid radiotracers L-[methyl- 11 C]methionine (Met) and O -2-[ 18 F]fluoroethyl-L-tyrosine (FET) in the imaging of cerebral gliomasusing PET/CT. Materials and methods . PET/CT studies using Met and FET were performed in 36 patients (15 men and 21 women) aged 28 to 73 years with suspected intracerebral tumor before surgery of biopsy. Pathohistologicalstudy verified gliomas(n-31) or other tumors (n=3), inflammatory process (n=2). The analysis of results included visual comparison of images, calculation of the tumor-to-brainratio (TBR) and metabolic tumor volume for Met and PET. Results . Visual and quantitative analysis of the scans revealed that tumor uptake pattern of FET was similar to those of Met. No significant differences were found in the TBR of both radiotracers in tumors of different grades of malignancy. A strong significant correlation (r=0,9) was revealed between the TBR of Met and FET in gliomas. There were no significant differences between tumor metabolic volumes when using the same cutoff values for both radiotracers. The ROC analysis established the same diagnostic value of Met and FET in differentiating low and high grade gliomas (area under curve 0,884 and 0,881, respectively). Conclusion . Amino acid radiotracers provide comparable diagnostic information in preoperative imaging of gliomas using PET/CT, which makes it possible to recommend FET as an adequate alternative to Met for PET centers without on-site cyclotron.
