- aggregation title "Positron emission tomography in primary brain tumours using cobalt-55".
- aggregation abstract "Primary brain tumours are usually assessed by computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), sometimes in conjunction with positron emission tomography (PET). We used cobalt-55 (Co-55) as a calcium (Ga) tracer to visualize decaying tumour tissue, based on the fact that Ca-influx is essential in both cell death and leukocyte activation. Net Co-55 uptake may be the result of cell decay, leukocyte infiltration, (re)perfusion and the pharmacological profile of Co-55. Three patients with primary malignant brain tumours (first presentation) were studied with CT, MRI and Go-PET after the intravenous administration of 0.5 mCi Co-55. Histopathological diagnosis was obtained by biopsy or resection. Go-PET demonstrated each of the brain tumours and showed good topographical agreement with CT and MRI. Go-PET provided additional detail as to the site and size of the necrotic core and the peri-necrotic rim of decaying tumour. The Co-55 uptake indices varied between 2.6 and 5.3. Co-55 demonstrated uptake in decaying tissue, irrespective of the integrity of the blood-brain barrier. Neither necrotic nor viable tumour tissue showed affinity for Co-55. Since Co-55 is readily applicable to both PET and single photon emission tomography (SPET), differences in the uptake mechanism and functional significance of the Co-55 tracer are discussed in relation to Tl-201 SPET. We present a (limited) pilot series of three patients to forward the claim of this new functional technique in nuclear neurology.".
