Glycolytic rate (PET) and contrast enhancement (CT) in human cerebral gliomas.
A comparison of the glycolytic rate as determined by positron emission tomography (PET) with 18F-deoxyglucose (FDG) and cerebral contrast computed tomography (CT) was carried out in 72 cases of cerebral glioma. FDG-PET is more accurate than contrast CT in predicting tumor grade.
