Optimum lean body formulation for correction of standardized uptake value in PET imaging.
UNLABELLED Standardized uptake value (SUV) normalized by lean body mass ([LBM] SUL) is becoming a popular metric for quantitative assessment of clinical PET. Sex-specific quantitative effects of different LBM formulations on liver SUV have not been well studied. METHODS (18)F-FDG PET/CT scans from 1,033 consecutive adult (501 women, 532 men) studies were reviewed. Liver SUV was measured with ...
متن کاملRepeatability of Standardized Uptake Value in Oncologic 18F-FDG PET
Quantitative analysis can potentially improve the accuracy and consistency of 2-18F-fluoro-2deoxy-D-glucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET), particularly for the assessment of tumor response to treatment. Although not without limitations, standardized uptake value (SUV) has emerged as the predominant metric for tumor quantification with 18F-FDG PET. Growing literature suggests that...
متن کاملStandardized uptake value as an unreliable index of renal disease on fluorodeoxyglucose PET imaging.
Fluorine-18 2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography has been used extensively in the diagnosis of malignant conditions with high rates of sensitivity and specificity. However, increased FDG uptake is not limited to malignant tissue. In general, lesions with a mild degree of FDG uptake as measured by standardized uptake values less than 2.0 are considered benign, whereas th...
متن کامل18F-FDG PET/CT of advanced gastric carcinoma and association of HER2 expression with standardized uptake value
Objective(s): Expression of HER2 in gastric carcinoma has direct prognostic and therapeutic implications in patient management. The aim of this study is to determine whether a relationship exists between standardized uptake value (SUV) and expression of HER2 in advanced gastric carcinoma. Methods: We analyzed the 18F-FDG PET/CT results of 109 patients that underwent gastrectomy for advanced gas...
متن کاملUtility of 123I-MIBG Standardized Uptake Value in Patients with Refractory Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma
Objective(s): Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) using metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) is an important diagnostic tool for the treatment of refractory pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL). Owing to the difficulty of SPECT quantification, the tumour-to-background ratio (TBR) is used to assess disease activity. However, the utility of TBR is limited o...
