  2. Standardized uptake value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standardized_Uptake_Value

    3-dimensional [18 F]FDG-PET image with 3D ROI generated by a threshold based algorithm.The blue dot in the MIP image bottom right marks the maximum SUV within the ROI.. The standardized uptake value (SUV) is a nuclear medicine term, used in positron emission tomography (PET) as well as in modern calibrated single photon emission tomography (SPECT) imaging for a semiquantitative analysis.

    >30% increase in 18F-FDG SUL peak, with >0.8 SUL units increase in tumor SUV peak from the baseline scan in pattern typical of tumor and not of infection/treatment effect. or Visible increase in the extent of 18F-FDG tumor uptake. or New 18F-FDG avid lesions which are typical of cancer and not related to treatment effect or infection.

    The measurement of SUV is easy, [36] cheap, and quicker to perform, making it more attractive for clinical use. It has been used in diagnosing and assessing the efficacy of therapy. [37] [38] SUV can be measured at a single site, or the whole skeleton using a series of static scans and restricted by the small field-of-view of the PET scanner. [32]

    U.S. health officials on Friday lifted curbs on reimbursement of a non-invasive imaging test called amyloid PET used to diagnose Alzheimer's, ending a once-per-lifetime limitation that clears the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_intensity_projection

    An alternate version of MIP is Local maximum intensity projection. In this technique we don't take the global maximum value, but the first maximum value that is above a certain threshold. Because - in general - we can terminate the ray earlier this technique is faster and also can give better results in some settings as it approximates ...

  7. PET-CT - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PET-CT

    Positron emission tomography–computed tomography (better known as PET-CT or PET/CT) is a nuclear medicine technique which combines, in a single gantry, a positron emission tomography (PET) scanner and an x-ray computed tomography (CT) scanner, to acquire sequential images from both devices in the same session, which are combined into a single superposed (co-registered) image.

    As of August 2008, Cancer Care Ontario reports that the current average incremental cost to perform a PET scan in the province is CA$1,000–1,200 per scan. This includes the cost of the radiopharmaceutical and a stipend for the physician reading the scan. [92] In the United States, a PET scan is estimated to be US$1500-$5000.
