Combination of 11C-MET PET and MRS in the Diagnosis of Glioma.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating tumors are confirmed by surgery and pathology for Glioma. Completed, enrolled 100 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
MET PET and MRS are often performed as imaging tool for the differential diagnosis of gliomas. But both techniques have limitations causing misdiagnosis; thus, the investigators tried to combine these two imaging tools to study whether the combination of MET PET and MRS could raise the diagnosis ability of the radiological diagnosis of gliomas.

Timeline
Interventions
Each patient undergoes both MRS and MET PET scan before surgery. The lesion will be considered as a glioma when either MRS or MET PET results indicated the diagnosis. Pathologic diagnosis will be performed to confirm the final diagnosis.
