Simultaneous evaluation of brain metastasis and thoracic cancer using semiconductor 11C-methionine PET/CT imaging
ConclusionIn digital MET-PET/CT imaging, TNR was a more useful parameter to differentiate LR from RN than SUVmax, and the cutoff value was higher than those with conventional PET systems. Additional whole-body scans could detect extracranial recurrence and would be especially useful for advanced thoracic cancer patients who underwent non-surgical treatment.
