The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between parameters on CEST imaging by multi pool model and ¹¹C-methionine (MET) uptake on PET/CT in gliomas. The maximum and mean values of the parameters on CEST imaging were measured. ¹¹C-MET uptake was semiquantitatively assessed using tumor-to-contralateral normal brain tissue (T/N) ratio. Several correlation coefficients between MTRasym and T/N ratio, and APT_T1 and MET T/N ratio were relatively high, but not statistically significant. These preliminary results suggest that parameters on CEST imaging by multi pool model seems to correlate with ¹¹C-MET uptake on PET/CT in patients with gliomas.
