Overview
Other imaging studies for oligoastrocytoma include PET scan and bone scan (bone metastasis).
Other Imaging Findings
Positron Emission Tomography
Other imaging studies for high-grade oligoastrocytomas include PET scan, which demonstrates accumulation of [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose (increased glucose metabolism).[1]
Bone Scan
- Most malignant gliomas get metastasized to the bones via the hematogenous spread.[2]
- Bone scan may be performed to detect metastases of malignant oligoastrocytoma to bones.[3][4]
