Repeatability of the Maximum Standard Uptake Value (SUVmax) in FDG PET

Malecular Imaging and Radionuclide Therapy, 2014
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 ...

Significance of FDG–PET standardized uptake values in predicting thyroid disease

European Thyroid Journal, 2023
Objective This study aimed to determine a standardized cut-off value for abnormal 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) accumulation in the thyroid gland. Methods Herein, 7013 FDG–PET/CT scans were included. An automatic thyroid segmentation method using two U-nets (2D- and 3D-U-net) was constructed; mean FDG standardized uptake value (SUV), CT value, and ...

Deep segmentation networks predict survival of non-small cell lung cancer [PDF]

, 2019
Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) represents approximately 80-85% of lung cancer diagnoses and is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Recent studies indicate that image-based radiomics features from positron emission tomography-computed

[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 ...

Noninvasive PET Imaging and Tracking of Engineered Human Muscle Precursor Cells for Skeletal Muscle Tissue Engineering [PDF]

, 2016
Transplantation of human muscle precursor cells (hMPCs) is envisioned for the treatment of various muscle diseases. However, a feasible noninvasive tool to monitor cell survival, migration, and integration into the host tissue is still missing. METHODS:

A better Standard-Uptake-Value Body Habitus Normalizer for Fluorodeoxyglucose in Humans [PDF]

, 2021
Abstract PurposeTo devise a new body-habitus normalizer to be used in the calculation of a standardized uptake value (SUV) that is specific to the PET tracer 18 F-FDG. MethodsAfter exclusions for type and extent of cancer and timing of the scan, a cohort of 481 patients was selected for analysis of 18 F-FDG uptake into “normal” tissues ...
