176 Introduction: Many methods are used to measure metabolic tumor volume (MTV) via
positron emission tomography (PET)(1). These methods may help predict patient outcome …

Metabolic tumor volume (MTV) is defined as the total metabolically active tumor volume
seen on 18F-FDG PET/CT examinations. Calculating MTV is often time-consuming …

Tumor burden influences prognosis in lymphoma, with unidimensional bulk used for risk
assessment and decisions about radiotherapy consolidation (1). Total metabolic tumor …

In baseline 18F-FDG PET imaging of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients,
Barrington et al. recently confirmed that different outlining methods providing total metabolic …

270 Objectives: The total metabolic tumor volume (MTV) calculated from baseline 18 F-FDG
PET images is an early prognostic factor in lymphoma. Yet, MTV does not precisely reflect …

Barrington and Meignan outline an international project aimed at reaching an expert
consensus on possible standardization of the computation of metabolic tumor volume (MTV) …

Dear Sir, Given the absence of a recognized gold standard for assessing the metabolic
tumor volume (MTV) in FDG PET, it is important to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of …

P83 Introduction: Total metabolic tumor volume (TMTV) has been identified as a prognostic
factor in lymphoma patients. However, TMTV cut-off values to identify high versus low-risk …

Dear Editor, The prognostic value of the pretreatment total metabolic tumor volume (TMTV)
obtained from quantitative PET measurements in patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma …

609 Objectives: Total Metabolic Tumor Volume (TMTV) as assessed by FDG PET is a
valuable biomarker of the disease burden. Yet, TMTV reliability is based on the accuracy of …
