Overview
Other Imaging Findings
Other imaging studies for oligodendroglioma include:[1][2][3][4]
Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
- N-acetyl aspartate (NAA) peak is dominant
- Choline-to-creatine ratio of less than 3:1
- Reduction of NAA/creatine ratio
- Increased choline levels and decreased NAA levels
- Increased glutamine and glutamate compared to white matter
Magnetic Resonance Perfusion
- There is increased "chicken wire" network of vascularity, which results in elevated relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV).[5]
- MR perfusion has a sensitivity of 95% for distinguishing grade II from grade III oligodendrogliomas. rCBV above the threshold of 1.75 demonstrates more rapid tumor progression.
Images
-
MR perfusion demonstrates significantly increased CBV (area 'under' the purple curve) compared to the other side.[6]
-
MR perfusion of the brain.[6]
Positron Emission Tomography
- 11C-Methionine PET and F-18 FDG PET studies can be used to differentiate oligodendroglioma from anaplastic oligodendroglioma.[5]
- [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake of oligodendroglioma is similar to normal white matter, whereas FDG uptake of anaplastic oligodendroglioma is similar to normal gray matter.
Bone Scan
- Most malignant gliomas get metastasized to the bones via the hematogenous spread.[7]
- Bone scan may be performed to detect metastases of malignant oligodendroglioma or anaplastic oligodendroglioma to bones.[8]
