7 paź 2023 · The standardized uptake value (SUV) applies to PET imaging of tumors and typically uses the radioligand F 18 -2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG). The concentration of F 18 activity reflects glucose metabolism which is increased in tumor cells and inflammation.
19 sty 2011 · The correlation SUVmax with tumor site locations appears appropriate for generalization and definition of common SUV thresholds in FDG PET scanning. The SUVmax ranges of benign and malignant lesions in the current four subgroups are overall comparable with previously published data [ Citation 4–9 ].
18 paź 2016 · 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT is a pivotal imaging modality for cancer imaging, assisting diagnosis, staging of patients with newly diagnosed malignancy, restaging following therapy and surveillance.
Quantitative measurements such as SUV for interpreting FDG PET scans are limited because of the considerable overlap between SUV measurements in malignant and benign lesions. Most clinical PET interpretations are based on visual assessment of the FDG accumulation as well as the pattern of disease.
13 cze 2023 · The relationship between PET-CT SUV max levels, EBUS features, and malignancy on LN was investigated. For statistical analysis, patients were assigned to 3 groups: suspected malignancy (diagnosis and/or staging), confirmed malignancy (staging) or suspected benign disease.
3 lut 2015 · Increased FDG uptake by lung cancer cells, measured as the maximum standardized uptake value (SUV max), has been reported to predict the biologic aggressiveness of both early and advanced NSCLC (4 - 10); however, the reliability of SUV max remains controversial.
