  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. [1]

  3. Positron emission tomography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positron_emission_tomography

    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.

  4. PET response criteria in solid tumors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PET_response_criteria_in...

    PET response criteria in solid tumors (PERCIST) is a set of rules that define when tumors in cancer patients improve ("respond"), stay the same ("stabilize"), or worsen ("progress") during treatment, using positron emission tomography (PET). The criteria were published in May 2009 in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine (JNM). [1]

    Patients are given a radioactive form of glucose that shows up in PET scans. Because cancer cells take up more glucose than most other healthy cells, they light up in the images.”

  6. 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.

  7. Maximum intensity projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_intensity_projection

    MIP enhances the 3D nature of these nodules, making them stand out from pulmonary bronchi and vasculature. MIP imaging is also used routinely by physicians in interpreting Positron Emission Tomography (PET) or Magnetic Resonance Angiography studies.

  8. Lung cancer staging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lung_cancer_staging

    The mainstay of non-invasive staging is a CT scan of the chest followed by metabolic imaging with a PET scan. The CT scan shows abnormalities such as a lung nodule or enlarged lymph nodes whereas the PET scan reveals increased metabolism such as occurs in structures which contain rapidly growing cancer cells. PET/CT combined the benefits of ...
