Brief Summary: O-2-18F-fluoroethyl-L-tyrosine FET is a tracer for positron emission tomography PET The Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology RANO working group has officially recommended 18F-FET PET in the management of patients with brain glioma Recently the utility of 18F-FET PET in the diagnosis of fresh and residual gliomas has been reported by several investigators But clinical usefulness of radiomics parameters has not been explored thoroughly in glioma patients 18F-FET PET has been widely used in clinical studies or routine service in Europe America Mainland China or Japan However 18F-FET PET is still not available in Taiwan In this context the investigator propose this study to explore the role of multiparametric 18F-FET PET imaging for glioma in Taiwan with the emphasis in radiomics analysis

Materials and methods
1 During the pre-treatment work-up the study participants undergo an 18F-FET PETCT scan In addition other routine examinations including MRI with and without contrast enhancement are performed 2 After a definitive diagnosis of primaryrecurrent glioma is confirmed subjects begin treatment surgery radiation therapy chemotherapy etc Within 3 to 6 months after completing treatment the study subjects undergo a second 18F-FET PETCT scan for response evaluation along with a follow-up MRI
