Associations Between Atrial Cardiopathy and Cerebral Amyloid: The ARIC‐PET Study

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a risk factor for cognitive decline, possibly from silent brain infarction. Left atrial changes in structure or function (atrial cardiopathy) can lead to AF but may impact cognition independently.

Beneficial implications of adjuvant chemotherapy for stage IB lung adenocarcinoma exhibiting elevated SUVmax in FDG-PET/CT: a retrospective study from a single center

Frontiers in Oncology
BackgroundControversy surrounds the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) in the treatment of stage I lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). The objective of this study was to examine the impact of the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) as measured by 18F-

Can positron emission tomography/computed tomography be predictive of diagnostic success in endobronchial biopsies performed through a fiber-optic bronchoscopy in lung cancer?

Annals of Thoracic Medicine, 2018
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of homogeneous/heterogeneous (necrotic) involvement and maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) value of the lesion on positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) of ...

Comparison of [11C]TZ1964B and [18F]MNI659 for PET imaging brain PDE10A in nonhuman primates [PDF]

, 2016
Phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A) inhibitors show therapeutic effects for diseases with striatal pathology. PET radiotracers have been developed to quantify in vivo PDE10A levels and target engagement for therapeutic interventions. The aim of this study was

Impact of the Definition of Peak Standardized Uptake Value on Quantification of Treatment Response [PDF]

Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 2012
PET-based treatment response assessment typically measures the change in maximum standardized uptake value (SUV(max)), which is adversely affected by noise. Peak SUV (SUV(peak)) has been recommended as a more robust alternative, but its associated region of interest (ROI(peak)) is not uniquely defined.

Prognostic value of pretreatment standardized uptake value of F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose PET in patients with gastric cancer: a meta-analysis

BMC Cancer, 2017
Background F-18- fluorodeoxyglucose Positron emission tomography (18FDG-PET) has been widely used in clinical practice. However, the prognostic value of the pretreatment standardized uptake value (SUV) for patients with gastric cancer remains ...
