These metrics most commonly include maximum uptake (SUVmax); other metrics such as metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) are more involved technically. Despite their clinical utility, the full potential of quantitative PET imaging metrics may not be reached in both adult ...
FDG, which is a glucose analog, is transported to brain cells via the same pathway but undergoes phosphorylation within the cell, which prevents it from being released from the cell. FDG accumulates without further glycolysis and is a good reflection of glucose uptake in brain cells [7]. The...
This ability to measure changes in lesional and healthy-appearing skin provides a new pathway for independent monitoring of both the localized and systemic effects of the disease. Non-invasive optical imaging was conducted on lesions and non-lesional (pseudo-control) skin of 33 subjects diagnosed ...
The maximum SUV (SUVmax), MTV, total lesion glycolysis (TLG), surface-area-to-volume ratio (SA/MTV), and a measure of disease spread (Dmaxpatient) were extracted from the model output. Pearson's correlation coefficient and relative percent differences were calculated between automated and ...
