1198 Objectives: For reliable response evaluation with PET and to allow multi-center trials, a
high SUV-reproducibility is crucial, in particular when using different PET scanners. We …

Background A high SUV-reproducibility is crucial when different PET scanners are in use.
We evaluated the SUV variability in whole-body FDG-PET scans of patients with suspected …

1623 Objectives Accurate measurement of SUV obtained at PET/CT is critical for treatment
response assessment. The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of different …

427 Objectives: Changes in SUV in tumors of 15-25% have been suggested by some to
represent early tumor response or progression. The reproducibility of tumor SUV max has …

1434 Objectives Despite well documented confounding factors influencing the reliability of
SUV quantitation, the maximum SUV (maxSUV) remains a popular method. A key issue with …

1325 Objectives: We prospectively evaluated the visual and quantitative performance of
digital PET in patients with various types of cancer, in comparison with conventional PET …

Purpose As quantitative 18 F-FDG PET numbers and pooling of results from different
PET/CT scanners become more influential in the management of patients, it becomes …

2121 Objectives To compare the accuracy and reliability of SUV (bw) max vs. SUV (bw)
mean in oncologic FDG PET pts. Methods 278 FDG-positive tumoral lesions detected in 150 …

Introduction PET quantification using the standard uptake value (SUV) is very prone to
variations by technical factors of the scanner system and patient specific characteristics. Aim …

Lesions of an indeterminate nature are often encountered in images such as those from CT
and MRI. Examples include solitary pulmonary nodules and various incidentalomas that …
