Comparison of Static and Dynamic 18F-FDG PET/CT for Quantification of Pulmonary Inflammation in Acute Lung Injury

Conclusion: The Ki–SURstat correlations were considerably stronger than the Ki–SUV correlations. The good Ki–SURstat correlations suggest that static 18F-FDG PET/CT and SURstat analysis provides an alternative to dynamic 18F-FDG PET/CT and Patlak analysis, allowing the assessment of inflammation of whole lungs, repeated measurements within the period of 18F-FDG decay, and faster data acquisition.
