Quantitative CT density histogram values and standardized uptake values of FDG-PET/CT with respiratory gating can distinguish solid adenocarcinomas from squamous cell carcinomas of the lung
European Journal of Radiology Jan 25, 2018
Tsubakimoto M, et al. - Researchers evaluated the ability of parameters derived from computed tomography (CT) histograms and the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of 18F-fludeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/CT (FDG-PET/CT) images to distinguish solid lung adenocarcinomas from squamous cell carcinomas. They also determined whether these parameters were correlated. Solid lung adenocarcinomas could be differentiated from squamous cell carcinomas by using quantitative CT histogram values and SUV assessment. Kurtosis and SUVmax values were strongly associated. Respiratory gating (RG) addition and the further combination of the parameters improved the outcomes.
