PET with 18F-FDG has been increasingly applied, predominantly in the research setting, to
study drug effects and pulmonary biology and to monitor disease progression and treatment
outcomes in lung diseases that interfere with gas exchange through alterations of the
pulmonary parenchyma, airways, or vasculature. To date, however, there are no widely
accepted standard acquisition protocols or imaging data analysis methods for pulmonary
18F-FDG PET/CT in these diseases, resulting in disparate approaches. Hence, comparison …
PET with 18F-FDG has been increasingly applied, predominantly in the research setting, to study drug effects and pulmonary biology and to monitor disease progression and treatment outcomes in lung diseases that interfere with gas exchange through alterations of the pulmonary parenchyma, airways, or vasculature. To date, however, there are no widely accepted standard acquisition protocols or imaging data analysis methods for pulmonary 18F-FDG PET/CT in these diseases, resulting in disparate approaches. Hence, comparison of data across the literature is challenging. To help harmonize the acquisition and analysis and promote reproducibility, we collated details of acquisition protocols and analysis methods from 7 PET centers. From this information and our discussions, we reached the consensus recommendations given here on patient preparation, choice of dynamic versus static imaging, image reconstruction, and image analysis reporting.
