Abstract

This pilot study shows that in diffuse Grade II-III gliomas, a high <sup>18</sup>F-FDOPA uptake would be predictive of low tumour growth, with a different prognostic significance than IDH mutation. Advances in knowledge: <sup>18</sup>F-FDOPA PET in a single session imaging could have prognostic value in initial diagnosis of diffuse Grade II-III gliomas.
