SUV: from silly useless value to smart uptake value.
One of the early promises of PET was that it would be quantitative (1), as opposed to imaging modalities such as x-ray CT, MRI, or SPECT, in which quantification is more of a challenge than in PET. By quantitative is meant that a raw PET signal can be transferred into absolute activity concentrations of the radiopharmaceutical in all tissues in units of, for example, kBq/cm3. In this sense, PET...
متن کاملValue-added Services: How to Benefit from Smart Cards
Nowadays, people are more and more nomadic. Today’s applications are thus no more fulfilling the potential requirements of large-scale network users. As connection point kinds are increasing from day to day (PCs, PDAs, GSMs... ) offering value-added services to such users is not trivial. It mostly means offering one service for each kind of use: Although the W3 is available both on PCs and mobi...
متن کاملAtypical plexiform neurofibroma in NF1 with high standardised uptake value (SUV) in positron-emission tomography (PET) expressing podoplanin.
A 19-year-old female with established neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) diagnosis and history of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour (MPNST) of the lower extremities showed a tumour of her right upper extremity with a maximum standardised uptake value (SUV) of 5.7 on positron emission/computerised tomography (PET/CT) scan. The extirpated tumour proved to be an atypical plexiform neurofibroma....
متن کاملThe nodal standard uptake value (SUV) as a prognostic factor in head and neck squamous cell cancer.
BACKGROUND/AIMS The aim of present study is to evaluate the predictive and prognostic role of high [18F] fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) uptake of primary tumor and nodal metastasis in squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck (HNSCC). METHODOLOGY AND PATIENTS Between February 2006 and July 2010, we retrospectively evaluated 64 patients with primary HNSCC in an institutional imaging trial. All patients...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Efficacy of Standardized Uptake Value (SUV)-shape Scheme for Thyroid Volume Determination in Graves’ Disease: A Comparison with Ultrasonography
Objective(s): In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of thyroid volume measurement using 99mTc pertechnetate single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images, acquired by the standardized uptake value (SUV)-shape scheme designed by our expert team.Methods: A total of 18 consecutive patients with Graves’ disease (GD) were subjected to both ultrasonographic and 99mTc pertechnet...
