Zusammenfassung

Abstract Aim Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a rare, potentially fatal zoonosis with highly heterogeneous morphology. This study compares AE lesions in B-scan ultrasound, categorized according to the Echinococcus multilocularis Ulm Classification – Ultrasound (EMUC-US), with the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) in 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron-Emission-Tomography (18F-FDG-PET/CT). 18F-FDG-PET/CT is the gold standard for evaluating disease activity, with SUVmax as the key parameter indirectly reflecting AE lesion activity. Methods Retrospective analysis of data from the German National Echinococcosis…
