Diagnostic Value of PET/CT and Maximum Standardized Uptake Value in Patients with Primary Lymphoma [PDF]
Abstract Objective: Although the application of PET/CT in lymphomas has been the focus of many studies, the relationship between fluorodeoxyglucose uptake and biological indicators is complex and still incompletely understood, and there is a significant unmet need for more insightful differential diagnosis of PET/CT among different lymphoma ...

The Diagnostic Capacity of Pre-treatment 18F-FDG PET/CT for Predicting the Extranodular Spread of Lymph Node Metastases in Patients with Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma [PDF]
The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of pretreatment 90-min 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) to predict the extranodular spread of lymph node metastases in oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Noise Considerations for PET Quantification Using Maximum and Peak Standardized Uptake Value [PDF]
In tumor response monitoring studies with (18)F-FDG PET, maximum standardized uptake value (SUV(max)) is commonly applied as a quantitative metric. Although it has several advantages due to its simplicity of determination, concerns about the influence of image noise on single-pixel SUV(max) persist.

The significance of maximum standardized uptake values in patients with stage I pulmonary adenocarcinoma☆☆☆ [PDF]
Positron emission tomography has proven to be an invaluable tool for diagnosing and staging non-small cell lung cancer. The authors analyzed relationships between the preoperative maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax) of masses and early recurrence rates in patients with stage I pulmonary adenocarcinoma.One hundred and seven patients with stage I

Differentiation of aggressive and indolent subtypes of uterine sarcoma using maximum standardized uptake value [PDF]
The aim of the study was to elucidate the differential metabolic activities in aggressive and indolent subtypes of uterine sarcomas, which may aid in managing these heterogeneous tumours.We retrospectively analysed the PET/computed tomography scans of consecutive patients (N=18) diagnosed with uterine sarcoma at our unit. The patients were divided into

Repeatability of the Maximum Standard Uptake Value (SUVmax) in FDG PET
SUVmax is often calculated at FDG PET examinations in systematic studies as well as at clinical examinations. Since SUVmax represents a very small portion of a lesion it may be questioned how statistically reliable the figure is. This was studied by assessing the repeatability of SUVmax between two FDG acquisitions acquired immediately upon each other ...
