We found variable 11C-MET metabolism in WHO 2021 gliomas and confirmed significant difference in metabolic activity and volume of 11C-MET accumulation in glioblastomas compared to IDH «+» gliomas. Moreover, we revealed the relationship between high accumulation index and shorter survival. Analysis of 11C-MET metabolism in patients over 50 years old revealed higher accumulation index in the EGFR «+» group. Further comparison of these imaging methods and assessment of other significant mutations are necessary to identify the anatomical and metabolic patterns of IDH «+» gliomas.
