Brief summary

In this pilot study, the study evaluators will evaluate the ability of positron emission tomography (PET) with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG PET) and the computed tomography (CT) perfusion scanner, individually and combined, to predict the effectiveness of anti-angiogenic treatment.

Interventions

OTHERFDG PET

IV application of F Dopa, 2 MBq per Kg, with a scout view (angle of view 90 °, 120 kV, 30 mAs), then an X-ray scan is performed for the attenuation correction ( 120 kV - 5mAs - pitch 0.531 - thickness // increment: 3.75mm//3.27mm -QAC filter - DFOV 25). PET acquisition: static in 3D mode for 20 minutes, 8 minutes after the injection of 18 F Dopa, the axial field of view is 25, the matrix in 256 x 256. After OSEM reconstruction 6 iterations and 24 subsets, with correction of attenuation and diffusion, then Gaussian filter of frequency 4, 47 contiguous axial sections of 3.26 mm are obtained.

OTHERCT scan

Localization propeller without injection: 120kV - mA regulation (Noise Index 15) - pitch 0.969 - thickness // increment: 5mm // 5mm - Soft filter - Asir 60% - DFOV 25. Acquisition begins 5 seconds after the start of the injection of 60 ml of contrast product (VISIPAQUE) at 4 cc / second without (acquisition characteristics: 80 kV - 100 mAs -- thickness: 5mm // 8 images / rotation - STD filter - Asir 50% display field of view (DFOV) 25 - phase1: 5s then phase2 15s). Diagnostic quality CT: 120kV - Regulation of mA (Noise Index 15) - pitch 0.531 - thickness // increment: 1.25 // 0.625mm - Soft filter - Asir 60% - DFOV 25.

OTHERMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

If the examination is performed on the SIEMENS SKYRA 3T device: 32 channel head coil antenna, if on the PHILIPPS INGENIA 1.5 T device: DStream HeadSpine Coil antenna. The sequence begins with an axial, coronal and sagittal Survey topogram, lasting 1 minute. Then axial sequence T1, Axial T2 \*, Axial cerebral perfusion (Injection of gadolinium (0.1 mmol / kg, 5 cc / second), coronal T2, Axial T2 Flair, Axial DWI b100, Axial 3D T1 gadolinium
