Semi-quantitative F-18-FDG PET/computed tomography parameters for prediction of grade in patients with renal cell carcinoma and the incremental value of diuretics
Conclusion
Semi-quantitative F-18 FDG PET parameters (SUVmax, MTV and T/L) were found to be significantly correlated with Fuhrman grade in patients with RCC and are important markers for differentiation between low- and high-grade tumors. Furthermore, forced diuresis had no incremental value in characterization of primary RCC lesions.
