Why [18F]FDG-PET in tumors? Elevated glucose metabolism in tumor
Why [18F]FDG-PET in tumors? Elevated glucose metabolism in tumor [18F]FDG is a glucose analog

[18F]FDG PET: APPLICATION IN LUNG CANCER • Differentiating benign from malignant lesions (SPN) • Staging N and M and re-staging for therapy planning • Predicting and monitoring response to therapy
Solitary Pulmonary Nodule (SPN) • Solitary lung lesion < 3 cm in diameter • 20% - 40% of SPN are malignant • Initial presentation in 20% - 30% of lung cancer Coleman et al. J Nuc Med 1999
[18F]FDG PET Measure of metabolic activity of SPN • Visual Analysis • Quantitative analysis CT CT [18F]FDG PET [18F]FDG PET SUV = 7.3

[18F]FDG PET Measure of metabolic activity of SPN • Visual Analysis • Quantitative analysis: SUV (standardized uptake value) CT CT [18F]FDG PET [18F]FDG PET SUV = 7.3
Standardized Uptake Value = SUV • SUVBW = Ct/(ID/BW) = (kBq/ml) / (MBq/Kg) • SUVLBM = Ct/(ID/LBM) = (kBq/ml) / (MBq/Kg) • LBM uomini =1.1 * W - 128 *(W/h)2 • LBM donne = 1.07 * W - 148 *(W/h)2 • SUVBSA = Ct/(ID/BSA) = (kBq/ml) / (MBq/m2) • BSA = 0.007184 * W 0.425 * h 0.725
