The authors quantitatively evaluated possible distortions of tumor size and shape introduced on non-attenuation-corrected 2-[fluorine-18]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) scans obtained in primary lung cancer tumors. Primary lung cancer tumors in 21 patients were measured on x-ray computed tomography (CT), attenuation-corrected FDG PET, and non-attenuation-corrected FDG PET scans. Apparent anteroposterior tumor dimensions on non-attenuation-corrected FDG PET scans were significantly larger (P = .0007; mean difference, 30%) than on attenuation-corrected FDG PET or CT scans (P = .05; mean difference, 28%). Left-to-right tumor dimensions on non-attenuation-corrected FDG PET scans were significantly smaller than on attenuation-corrected FDG PET scans (P = .03; mean difference, 8.5%) but were not significantly different from those on CT scans (P = .3).
作者对原发性肺癌肿瘤的非衰减校正2-[氟-18]氟-2-脱氧-D-葡萄糖(FDG)正电子发射断层扫描(PET)中出现的肿瘤大小和形状的可能失真进行了定量评估。对21例患者的原发性肺癌肿瘤进行了X线计算机断层扫描(CT)、衰减校正FDG PET和非衰减校正FDG PET扫描测量。非衰减校正FDG PET扫描上肿瘤的前后径明显大于衰减校正FDG PET或CT扫描(P = .0007;平均差异为30%)(P = .05;平均差异为28%)。非衰减校正FDG PET扫描上肿瘤的左右径明显小于衰减校正FDG PET扫描(P = .03;平均差异为8.5%),但与CT扫描无显著差异(P = .3)。
