After the intracavitary administration of 131I-labeled monoclonal antibody for treatment of primary brain tumors after surgical resection, a persistent rim of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) accumulation surrounding the cavity can be observed on PET. This rim, although it accumulates more FDG than adjacent normal brain tissue, is not necessarily associated with tumor. In our study, we examine the characteristics of the rim that indicate persistent tumor and tumor progression.
