What and how should we measure in paediatric oncology FDG-PET/CT? Comparison of commonly used SUV metrics for differentiation between paediatric tumours
2019
Background
In clinical routine, SUVmax and SUVpeak are most often used to determine the glucose metabolism in tumours by 18F-FDG PET/CT. Both metrics can be further normalised to SUVs in reference regions resulting in a SUV ratio (SUVratio). The aim of the study was to directly compare several widely used SUVs/SUVratios with regard to differentiation between common tumours in paediatric patients; a special focus was put on characteristics of reference region SUVs.
