11C-methionine PET-CT was informative in the high/low degree of malignancy differentiation (T/N 1.66±0.71 for Grade I-II and 3.18±1.06 for Grade III-IV, p<0.05). The method was also useful in separating astrocytomas of Grade II and III. The considerable variation of SUV in the intact brain tissue as well as the difference in uptake between selected areas of the brain were revealed.
