Background The intensity of the [18 F] fluorodeoxyglucose (18 F-FDG) uptake is an
independent prognostic indicator in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We evaluate the …

Objective: Positron emission tomography (PET) is being increasingly used as an accurate
and non-invasive modality in diagnosis, staging and post-therapy assessment in patients …

Introduction The intensity of 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18 F-FDG) uptake in positron
emission tomography could be of prognostic significance for patients with non-small cell …

Objective: To determine if the intensity of fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in
primary non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) could independently predict patient prognosis …

Introduction: The prognostic value of quantitative 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (FDG)
uptake on positron emission tomography (PET) is controversial in unselected patients with …

The aim of this study was to determine whether quantitative information obtained from [18 F]
fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18 F-FDG PET) has a prognostic …

BACKGROUND A fundamental property of malignant tumors is increased glucose
metabolism, which can be estimated by imaging the glucose analog fluorodeoxyglucose …

Introduction This study aimed to use 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography
and/or computed tomography (18 FDG-PET/CT) imaging to evaluate the heterogeneous …

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of F-18
fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-18 FDG …
