 Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is useful for detecting brain tumors. In this study,we evaluated the utility of simultaneous dual SPECT with 201Tl-Chloride (Tl) and 99mTc-MIBI (MIBI) for diagnosis of brain tumors. We evaluated 20 cases,including 2 glioblastomas,7 anaplastic astrocytomas,2 oligodendrogliomas,2 anaplastic ependymomas,2 medulloblastomas,2 meningiomas,1 malignant meningioma,1 pituitary adenoma,and 1 craniopharyngioma. We analyzed the uptake ratio (T/N ratio) of tracers in both Tl and MIBI at max counts/pixels ratio in the region of interest. The T/N ratios in early and delayed images were described as early ratios (ER) and delay ratios (DR),respectively. The retention index (RI) was calculated as the DR/ER ratio.

 Significant correlations were found between ER and DR for both Tl (DR=0.797*ER+0.359,r=0.871),and MIBI (DR=0.961*ER-0.191,r=0.784). Next,we analyzed the correlations between Tl and MIBI SPECT,for ER,DR,and RI. ER values for the two were strongly correlated (r=0.791),DR values were weakly correlated (r=0.556),and RI exhibited no correlation between them (r=0.328). There were no correlations between tumor volume and T/N ratio for the two (ER-Tl ; r=0.0095,DR-Tl ; r=0.0050,ER-MIBI ; r=0.036,DR-MIBI ; r=0.254). Lastly no correlation was found between RI-Tl and RI-MIBI (r=0.328).

 We discuss the difference in the mechanism of accumulation of two tracers and the significance of simultaneous dual SPECT using them for the differential diagnosis of pituitary tumors,regrowth of oligodendrogliomas,and multi-drug resistance of chemotherapy. Dual SPECT with Tl and MIBI appears to be useful for the diagnosis of brain tumor.
