The [18 F]FDG-6-phosphate formed when [18 F]FDG enters the cell cannot exit the cell before radioactive decay. As a result, the distribution of [18 F]FDG is a good reflection of the distribution of glucose uptake and phosphorylation by cells in the body. [citation needed] The fluorine in [18 F]FDG decays radioactively via beta-decay to 18 O −.
Complete resolution of 18F-FDG uptake within the measurable target lesion so that it is less than mean liver activity and at the level of surrounding background blood pool activity. Disappearance of all other lesions to background blood pool levels. No new suspicious 18F-FDG avid lesions. If progression by RECIST must verify with follow up
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.

The concentrations of imaged FDG tracer indicate tissue metabolic activity as it corresponds to the regional glucose uptake. FDG is used to explore the possibility of cancer spreading to other body sites (cancer metastasis). These FDG PET scans for detecting cancer metastasis are the most common in standard medical care (representing 90% of ...
The FDG-avid uptake in the left side (circle) is related to patient's known lymphoma, which resolved after treatment. c, d Transverse greyscale and sagittal colour Doppler ultrasound of the neck demonstrate a right thyroid irregular hypoechoic lesion with some micro-calcifications (white arrows) and increased vascularity.
The Deauville 5-point scoring system is an internationally accepted and utilized five-point scoring system for the fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) avidity of a Hodgkin lymphoma or Non-Hodgkin lymphoma tumor mass as seen on FDG positron emission tomography: [1] Score 1: No uptake above the background; Score 2: Uptake ≤ mediastinum
Fluciclovine is a [18 F]-tagged synthetic analog of the amino acid L-leucine.[11] [12] FACBC uptake by the tumor is related to functional activity of two amino acid transporters, [13] specifically sodium-dependent system ASC, with a lesser contribution by sodium-independent system L. [12] Although it is handled by the amino acid transporter system, it does not undergo terminally incorporative ...
FDG imaging protocols acquires slices with a thickness of 2 to 3 mm. Hypermetabolic lesions are shown as false color-coded pixels or voxels onto the gray-value coded CT images. Standardized Uptake Values are calculated by the software for each hypermetabolic region detected in the image. It provides a quantification of size of the lesion, since ...
