Theaim of the present study was to evaluate the correlation of preoperative tracer uptake of primary tumor to Gleason Score in patients who underwent prostatectomy. Patients and methods: We retrospectively evaluated 141 patients who had Ga-68-PSMA positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging and who underwent
1year ago • 17 Replies. I'm trying to learn more about PSMA Pet scans and max/mean SUV uptake in the prostate. For those of you who have done a PSMA-PET scan and are high gleason score (8-10), can you share what your max SUV of the prostate was in your scan? My husbands prostate had a max SUV of only 7.5 and I'm trying to figure out
Imagingprotocol of 18 F-FDG PET scans. All patients fasted at least 4 hours before receiving a 10–15 mCi (370 MBq-555 MBq) dose of intravenous 18 F-FDG. PET scans were performed approximately 60 minutes after the injection of the 18 F-FDG dose. Emission and transmission acquisition times were 5 and 3 minutes, respectively, per bed
Whatdoes high SUV max mean? The rationale for using FDG-PET in oncology is its ability to measure increased glucose metabolism of tumor cells. Elevated FDG uptake suggests that the lesions or tissues harbor tumor cells. The maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) greater than 2.5 is often used as a cut off value for
Providingsuch prognostic information was formerly the domain of pathology; a report which ignores the intensity of metabolic abnormality is missing a key utility of
Performanceof FDG-PET for the Detection of Medullary and Extra-Medullary Disease at Initial Diagnosis. PET-FDG allows whole-body exploration and has a global sensitivity of 90% for the detection of medullary disease with a specificity varying from 70 to 100% according to several studies (7–9).Medullary abnormalities detected by PET are
SUV(Standardized Uptake Value) serves a crucial function in the identification, measurement, and evaluation of tumors within the body. This metric quantifies the
Benignand malignant pulmonary lesions usually are differentiated by 18F-FDG PET with a semiquantitative 18F-FDG standardized uptake value (SUV) of 2.5. However, the frequency of malignancies with an SUV of <2.5 is significant, and pulmonary nodules with low 18F-FDG uptake often present diagnostic challenges. Methods: Among 360 consecutive patients
Awhole-body emission PET scan was performed immediately after the low-dose non-enhanced CT scan, with a 2-min acquisition per bed position using the three-dimensional acquisition mode. Attenuation-corrected PET images were reconstructed with an ordered-subset expectation maximization iterative reconstruction algorithm, VUE
Weperformed a retrospective study of patients with enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes on 18 F-FDG PET/CT scans. Kaushik A., Wolverson M. K., Osman M. M. Is there a common SUV threshold in oncological FDG PET/CT, at least for some common indications? a retrospective study. Acta Oncologica. 2011; 50 (5):670–677. doi: 10.3109
Thestandardized uptake value (SUV) applies to PET imaging of tumors and typically uses the radioligand F 18 -2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG). The
ObjectivesTo evaluate the effect of pre-scan blood glucose levels (BGL) on standardized uptake value (SUV) in 18F-FDG-PET scan. Methods A literature review was performed in the MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane library databases. Multivariate regression analysis was performed on individual datum to investigate the correlation of
Alternatively uptake is easily determined by a static scan and is often expressed as a standardized uptake value (SUV), which represents measured activity normalized to body weight and administered dose of tracer. 119 NaF uptake at the femoral neck was found to decrease with age and correlated with CT-derived BMD in a study that included 68
Lowdose CT scan was obtained for attenuation correction, and the PET scan was followed at 1 min per bed position. PET images were reconstructed using 3D RAMLA (Row Action Maximum Likelihood Algorithm) The mean level of SUV max in the tumor groups with scores 0 and 1+ was 3.9±2.1 and in the tumor groups with a score 2+ and 3+ was 6.3±3.7.
BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the imaging properties of hepatic metastases in 68Ga-PSMA positron emission tomography (PET) in patients with prostate cancer (PC). Methods 68Ga-PSMA-PET/CT scans of PC patients available in our database were evaluated retrospectively for liver metastases. Metastases were identified
