FDG–PET. A possible prognostic factor in head and neck cancer [PDF]

, 2002
Previous studies have shown that high uptake of 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-glucose in head and neck cancer, as determined by the standardized uptake value on positron emission tomography scan, was associated with poor survival.

Prognostic significance of standardized uptake value on 18fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma

World Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 2017
The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic significance of standardized uptake value (SUV) on 18 fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).

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),

Timing of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography maximum standardized uptake value for diagnosis of local recurrence of non‐small cell lung cancer after stereotactic body radiation therapy

Cancer Medicine, 2020
Introduction After treatment with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), local recurrence of non‐small cell cancer (NSCLC) can be difficult to differentiate from radiation‐induced changes. Maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), measured with 18‐

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.

Abdominal extranodal lymphoma detection: positron emission tomography/computed tomography can help

The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 2020
Background Lymphoid neoplasms that present with masses are broadly referred to as lymphomas, and they can be classified to two main groups: Hodgkin’s (HL) and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL); they are mainly characterized by enlargement of lymph nodes ...

[18F] FDOPA PET may confirm the clinical diagnosis of Parkinson's disease by imaging the nigro-striatal pathway and the sympathetic cardiac innervation: Proof-of-concept study [PDF]

Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2020
Autonomic involvement, including cardiac denervation, may precede the motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease by several years. L-3,4-dihydroxy-6-[18F] fluoro-phenylalanine is a positron emitter and a true analog of L-dopa, used in clinical practice to ...
