Zusammenfassung
Ziele: The aim of this study was to investigate relations between glucose metabolism as registered by 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose-PET/CT ([18F]FDG-PET/CT) and tumor perfusion as quantified by volume perfusion-CT (VPCT) in primary tumors and mediastinal lymph nodes of patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Methode: 17 patients with non-small cell lung cancer and 56 lymph nodes were enrolled. SUVmax and SUVavg were used for quantification of [18F]FDG uptake. Blood flow (BF), blood volume (BV) and flow extraction product (Ktrans) were determined as perfusion parameters. Perfusion parameters and [18F]FDG upta…
