The standardized uptake lean body mass (SUL), calculated using lean body mass (LBM), is
essential for the semiquantification of 18F-FDG uptake using PET coupled with CT to avoid a …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to estimate lean body mass (LBM) using CT (LBM
CTs) and compare the results with LBM estimates of four different predictive equations (LBM …

With the routine use of 2-deoxy-2-[18F]-fluoro-D-glucose (18F-FDG) positron emission
tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scans, metabolic activity of tumors can be …

Purpose The aim of this study was to define an optimal CT number range applicable to
adipose tissue (AT) measurement in modern PET/CT systems. Methods CT number (in …

Purpose: The authors introduce a novel method for defining standardized uptake values
(SUVs) in PET/CT based on routinely collected CT data. The goal of the study is to reduce, if …

The standardized uptake value (SUV) has gained recognition in recent years as a
semiquantitative evaluation parameter in positron emission tomography (PET) studies …

CT has become an established method for calculating body composition, but it requires data
from the whole body, which are not typically obtained in routine PET/CT examinations. A …

The administered dose of 18F-FDG can be greatly reduced using body mass index (BMI)
instead of the patient's weight, without diminishing image quality. We have focused on …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the test-retest variability of standardized uptake values
(SUVs) in normal tissues and the impact of various methods for measuring the SUV …
