Fig. 1From: Volumetric parameters of the primary tumor and whole-body tumor burden derived from baseline 18F-FDG PET/CT can predict overall survival in non-small cell lung cancer patients: initial results from a single institutionRepresentative 18F-FDG PET-CT MIP (maximum intensity projection) and axial images of a patient with low whole-body tumor burden (WBTB). A 62-year-old male patient with pathologically proven right middle lobe NSCLC, adenocarcinoma. FDG uptake was increased abnormally corresponding to the right lung primary lesion, another focal FDG uptake is noted at abdominal LN. Corresponding SUVmax, SUVpeak, SUVmean, tu MTV, tu TLG, WB MTV, and WB TLG were 3.48, 2.71, 2.04, 5.23, 10.56, 30.8, 56Back to article page
