Exploratory Evaluation of MR Permeability with 18F-FDG PET Mapping in Pediatric Brain Tumors: A Report from the Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop a method of registering (18)F-FDG PET with MR permeability images for investigating the correlation of (18)F-FDG uptake, permeability, and cerebral blood volume (CBV) in children with pediatric brain tumors and their relationship with outcome.
METHODS: Twenty-four children with brain tumors in a phase II study of bevacizumab and irinotecan underwent brain MR and (18)F-FDG PET within 2 wk. Tumor types …
