This 2014 RSNA scientific paper presentation compared automated PET-CT measurements with radiologist-derived measurements in biopsy-proven lesions. The archived abstract reports retrospective evaluation of 15 patients and a strong correlation between automated and radiologist-derived SUVmax measurements.
Summary
The authors presented an automated method for analyzing PET-CT images and compared computer-derived standardized uptake value (SUV) measurements and metabolic tumor volume with radiologist-derived measurements. The retrospective evaluation included PET-CT images from 15 patients with biopsy-proven lesions. The archived abstract reports a strong correlation between automatically derived and radiologist-derived SUVmax measurements (R > 0.91, p < 0.0001). The authors also reported that radiologist-derived regions of interest for metabolic tumor volume were overestimated. These findings are from the reported study; the abstract does not establish prospective clinical validation.
- Presented December 5, 2014, as part of the RSNA scientific meeting session SST11: Nuclear Medicine (Comparative Technologies and Modalities).
