Cancer Patients Referred to do PET/CT Study
Conditions
Keywords
SUV measurements , correction, PET/CT
Brief summary
-To measure SUVs by using different correction methods in oncological PET/CT imaging.
Detailed description
-To compare between SUV measurements in the tumor and liver using different standardizing parameters such as: body weight, lean body mass and body surface area.
Interventions
DEVICEPET/CT with 18-FDG
* Patients will fast for at least 4 hrs before imaging with blood glucose level (\<200 mg/dl) before intravenous administration of F18-FDG. * Imaging will be performed approximately 45 to 60 min after 18F-FDG injection, an imaging field of view from the base of skull to mid-thighs with the arms above the head whenever possible is used or otherwise the arms are positioned beside the body.

Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| To determine if SUVbsa is more accurate than SUVbw in obese patients. | 1/12/2025 to 1/10/2027 | -To determine if ''normalization of FDG uptake for the body surface area'' (SUVbsa) is independent of the patient's body size and is more reliable than SUVbw. |
