The usefulness of fractal analysis in FDG-PET/CT images for diagnosing therapeutic effect of non-small cell lung cancer.

Conclusions: In NSCLC before and after cancer therapy, fractal dimension decreased in the PMR group and tended to increase in PMD group. The change of fractal dimension (D) by Box counting method or Pixel counting method in FDG uptake will be supplemental useful parameter for diagnosing cancer therapeutic effect in NSCLC
