Misclassification rate for either having recurrent disease or not having recurrent disease for patients previously treated for glial and metastatic disease (Population 1) |
Radiologists will classify lesions as having recurrent disease or not having recurrent disease. True Positives (TP) are defined as an FET PET read positive for tumor and pathology/follow-up demonstrates tumor recurrence in at least one biopsy sample, False positives (FP) are defined as an FET PET read positive for tumor and pathology/follow-up demonstrates negative tumor recurrence in all of the biopsy samples, True negatives (TN) are defined as an FET PET read as negative for tumor and pathology/follow-up also negative tumor recurrence in all of the biopsy samples and a false negative (FN) is defined as an FET PET read as negative for tumor and pathology/follow-up demonstrates tumor recurrence in at least one biopsy sample. Misclassification rate = [FP+FN)]/[FP+FN+TP+TN] |
Up to 6 months |

| Primary |
Misclassification rate for either high grade or low grade in patients with suspected neoplasms (Population 2) |
Readers will have access only to FET PET images for participants with suspected glial neoplasms (Grade 2-4) planning to undergo biopsy or surgery prior to primary treatment during evaluation and will grade the lesions in a binary fashion as having Grade II glial neoplasms or having Grade III/IV glial neoplasms. True positive (TP2): FET PET read as positive for Grade III/IV neoplasm, pathology demonstrates Grade III/IV neoplasm. False positive (FP2): FET PET read as positive for Grade III/IV neoplasm, pathology demonstrates Grade II neoplasm. True negative (TN2): FET PET read as positive for Grade II neoplasm, pathology demonstrates Grade II neoplasm. False negative (FN2): FET PET read as positive for Grade II neoplasm, pathology demonstrates Grade III/IV neoplasm. Misclassification rate = [FP2+FN2]/[FP2+FN2+TP2+TN2] |
Up to 6 months |

| Secondary |
Binary characterization of follow-up imaging as positive/negative for tumor recurrence |
Participants with available histology (performed within 4 weeks of FET scans) or follow-up imaging (performed within 6 months of FET scan) will be included and a composite truth standard for recurrence or treatment-related changes will be evaluated for each case. In the absence of pathology, the composite truth standard will use available clinical information to make a determination. Positive for tumor recurrence on follow-up imaging will be based on Response assessment in neuro-oncology criteria (RANO) criteria reads. Follow-up imaging has to be performed within six months of the FET PET imaging study to be considered for evaluation. Additionally, the composite truth standard may consider tumor board notes and subsequent management of the patient to make a determination. |

| Secondary |
Misclassification rate for FET PET in the evaluation of recurrent low-grade gliomas (Population 1) |
Low-grade glioma is defined by low uptake of FET. Radiologists will classify lesions based on imaging as either having recurrent disease or not having recurrent disease. True Positives (TP1L) are defined as an FET PET read positive for low-grade tumor and pathology/follow-up demonstrates low-grade tumor recurrence in at least one biopsy sample, False positives (FP1L) are defined as an FET PET read positive for low grade tumor recurrence and pathology/follow-up demonstrates negative low-grade tumor recurrence in all of the biopsy samples, True negatives (TN1L) are defined as an FET PET read as negative for low-grade tumor recurrence and pathology/follow-up also negative for low grade tumor recurrence in all of the biopsy samples and a false negative (FN1L) is defined as an FET PET read as negative for low grade tumor recurrence and pathology/follow-up demonstrates low grade tumor recurrence in at least one biopsy sample. Misclassification rate = [FP1L+FN1L)]/[FP1L+FN1L+TP1L+TN1L] |
Up to 6 months |
|
| Secondary |
Degree of inter-rater reliability for tracer uptake |
Fleiss' kappa statistic will be used to determine the agreement between the assessment of FET-PET tumor targeting (tracer uptake in target lesion: yes/ no), as assessed by three independent blinded readers. Scores range from 0 to 1 with higher scores indicating a great degree of agreement |
Up to 6 months |
|
| Secondary |
Degree of inter-rater reliability for radiological interpretations |
Cohen's kappa statistics will be used to determine the reproducibility of the assessment by individual readers when analyzing the same data repeatedly and measures the agreement between two raters who each classify items into mutually exclusive categories. |
