Figure 1
T1-weighted, gadolinium-enchanced MRI (A) in a low-grade oligodendroglioma of the left frontal lobe. Faint 99mTc-Tetrofosmin uptake (B, arrow) correlated with Ki-67 approx. 2% (C; MIB-1 ×100).
Figure 2
Figure 2
T1-weighted, gadolinium-enchanced MRI (A) in an anaplastic oligodendroglioma of the left temporal lobe. Profound tracer uptake (B) correlated with intense proliferation (C; Ki-67 approx. 40%, MIB-1 ×100).
Figure 3
Figure 3
Correlation between 99mTc-Tetrofosmin uptake (expressed as lesion-to-normal [L/N] uptake ratio) and cellular proliferation rate (MIB-1) in the studied gliomas.
