Brief summary: This is a pilot study to assess the ability of \[F-18\]fluciclovine to differentiate pseudoprogression from progression in participants after therapy, at imaging time points within the 12 week interval post chemoradiation. \[F-18\]fluciclovine. PET will be obtained at the time point in the 12 week interval in which MRI demonstrates increase in enhancing volume with the differential diagnosis of pseudoprogression versus tumor progression. At the same time point (at least 6 hours after \[F-18\]fluciclovine or up to 3 days) F-18 FDG will also be performed consistent with standard clinical practice. The verification of pseudoprogression versus tumor progression will be determined by the regression of enhancing lesion on subsequent MRI imaging obtained as part of standard care.

Detailed description: In this pilot study the investigators propose to image 10 participants who have been previously diagnosed by resection or biopsy with grade 3 or 4 glioma.

All glioma cases undergoing resection at UPMC are evaluated by immunohistochemistry for mutations in p53, nuclear localization of ATRX, and the presence of IDH1R132H mutation as part of standard neuropathologic integrated diagnosis using the WHO 2016 diagnostic criteria. All glioma cases resected at UPMC undergo genetic profiling using next generation sequencing.

MRI imaging will be obtained as part of standard clinical care. The MRI sequences include T1 pre and post contrast, T2 FLAIR, DWI, ADC and perfusion sequences using the imaging algorithm for evaluating treatment response in glioma treatment trials. Radiogenomic analysis will be performed using the MRI imaging sequences obtained as standard clinical care.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* 1. Age ≥ 18 years old.

  2. Been previously diagnosed by resection or biopsy with grade 3 or 4 glioma.

  3. Agree to use adequate contraception as indicated in this protocol.

  4. Consent to PET scanning and receipt of one injection of 18F-fluciclovine.

  5. Able to comply with study procedures.

  6. Able to give written consent.

  7. Subject has had a standard of care, diagnostic MRI study which was indeterminate due to the inability to differentiate pseudoprogression versus tumor progression.

Exclusion Criteria:

* 1. Are a pregnant or breastfeeding female.

  2. Are participating in a clinical trial of another unlicensed product.

  3. Are undergoing 18F-fluciclovine PET for reason(s) other than newly diagnosed or recurrent glioma.

  4. Have a hypersensitivity to 18F-fluciclovine.

  5. Have acute renal failure or moderate/severe renal impairment, according to local clinical guidelines.

  6. Have a non-MRI compatible implantable device or another contraindication for MRI scan.

  7. Are deemed ineligible to participate for other reasons by an investigator.
