Our results suggest that although multiple tracer PET/CT may improve differential diagnosis efficacy, for glioma TuR from TrE, 18F-FDOPA PET-CT is the most reliable. The combination of 18F-FDOPA and 13N-NH3 does not increase the diagnostic efficiency, while 18F-FDG is not worthy for differential diagnosis of glioma TuR and TrE.
