Preliminary multimodal MR/PET data from 18 patients with
glioblastoma are presented with the aim of a
comprehensive characterization of tumor pathophysiology.
A semi-quantitative BOLD-based parameter, related to
vascular de-oxygenation, termed relative oxygen
extraction fraction (rOEF), was acquired simultaneously
with 18F-FET PET, which has been shown to be valuable
for detecting highly malignant tumor tissue. In a small
subgroup of four patients, hypoxia related 18F-FMISO PET
was acquired. These preliminary data support the utility
of 18F-FET and rCBV as markers for viable malignant
tumor tissue. With respect to hypoxia, more patient data
and more sophisticated analyses are clearly needed.
