Description of intervention(s) / exposure
F-DOPA and F-MISO PET/MRI (Positron Emission Tomography/Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan will be performed at Herston Imaging Research Facility (HIRF) by a qualified Nuclear Medicine Technologist and Radiographer.
F-MISO 370MBq will be injected into the patient, two hours prior to the scan being performed in order for uptake to occur. 15 minutes after starting image acquisition, FDOPA 150MBq will be injected with the patient in the scanner and scanning will continue for another 75 minutes. The total scan time will be 90 minutes and the total time participants will be required at HIRF will be 3.5 Hours. The imaging session will be performed within five days prior to the planned Neurosurgery.
The images obtained will be exported to neuronavigation software for use in theatre to allow for biopsy to be performed on targeted areas.

Participants will be separately consented for maximal safe resection by their nominated Neurosurgeon for their suspected high grade glioma (glioblastoma) with tissue biobanking. This is part of the current standard consent process and will be performed by the surgical team not the investigator consenting the patient to the current study.
During the surgical resection tissue will be collected by trained and approved QIMR Berghofer laboratory personnel. The de-identified samples will be clearly labeled as research material and transported in a double-container as per safety regulations on ice to the laboratory.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 302330 0
Successful conduct of F-DOPA, F-MISO PET concurrently with MRI prior to surgery in patients with suspected high-grade glioma.

This will be assessed by the ability for the images obtained to be used in the operating theatre in order to guide targeted bio-banking.
Timepoint [1] 302330 0
Diagnosis
Primary outcome [2] 302331 0
Successful use of F-DOPA and F-MISO MRI images to identify subvolumes of interest within suspected high-grade glioma, and direct intra-operative biopsies.

This will be assessed by the ability to obtain samples from targeted areas identified from the imaging.

Diagnosis
Secondary outcome [2] 335509 0
Exploratory Laboratory studies – using NanoString technology to understand the transcriptional expression of hypoxic proliferating areas vs non-hypoxic proliferating areas. Exploratory Laboratory tests will be performed on biopsy material obtained during surgery.
