Predictive Value of Pretherapeutic Maximum Standardized Uptake Value (Suvmax) In Laryngeal and Hypopharyngeal Cancer [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 AbstractThe aim of the study was to evaluate whether pretherapeutic metabolic tumor parameters from 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) imaging could predict larynx preservation in laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer patients prior to primary chemoradiation. Tumor metabolic parameters [maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax),

Positron emission tomography for predicting recurrence in stage I lung adenocarcinoma: standardized uptake value corrected by mean liver standardized uptake value [PDF]
European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2011 F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) has become an important staging tool for patients with lung cancer, and determination of the standardized uptake value (SUV) is probably the most widely used method for evaluating patients.
