Comparison of SUVmax and SUVpeak based segmentation to determine primary lung tumour volume on FDG PET-CT correlated with pathology data.

CONCLUSION: No benefit was shown on clinical data for the SUVpeak based segmentation method over a SUVmax based one. Both methods can be used to determine the tumour volumes in resected NSCLC tumours. PMID: 29983260 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
