Application of 18F-FDG PET/CT metabolic parameters in lung cancer / 中华核医学与分子影像杂志

ABSTRACT

18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT allows the functional information of PET to be fused with the accurate anatomical intormation from CT,it demonstrates unique advantages in lung cancer diagnosis,clinical staging,therapeutic evaluation and prognostic stratification.The metabolic parameters from 18F-FDG PET/CT include standardized uptake value,metabolic tumor volume,total lesion glycolysis and so on.This review summarizes the progress,problems and trends about 18F-FDG PET/CT parameters which are currently used in lung cancer.
