Evaluation of standardized uptake value to assess cerebral glucose metabolism

PURPOSE: When the cerebral metabolic rate of glucose (CMRglc) is to be measured, arterial blood sampling is usually required for fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and positron emission tomography (PET) studies. However, blood sampling is inconvenient because it requires several staff members and is invasive for patients. METHODS: To assess cerebral glucose metabolism by a noninvasive and simplified method, the authors used the standardized uptake value (SUV), which requires no input function or blood sampling. The study participants included 18 healthy volunteers (4 men and 14 women; mean +/- SD age, 68.2+/-6.3 years), 18 patients with mild Alzheimer's disease (AD) (4 men and 14 women; mean +/- SD age, 68.8+/-7.3 years), and 18 patients with moderate AD (5 men and 13 women, mean +/- SD age, 69.5+/-8.5 years). Regional CMRglc and regional cerebral SUV were measured in the three groups using FDG PET, and the correlation between global CMRglc and global SUV was estimated. RESULTS: The correlation coefficients of global CMRglc and global SUV in the healthy volunteers, mild AD patients, and moderate AD patients were 0.82, 0.67, and 0.62, respectively. Compared with the healthy persons, the patients with mild AD showed significantly decreased CMRglc in the temporal, frontal, and parietal cortices, but they did not show significantly decreased SUV in any region. Patients with moderate AD had significantly decreased CMRglc in the temporal, frontal, occipital, parietal, and sensorimotor cortices and significantly decreased SUV in the temporal, frontal, occipital, and parietal cortices. CONCLUSION: The SUV would be useful as a semiquantitative index of cerebral glucose metabolism only in healthy persons or those with mild AD.     

Accuracy of PET for diagnosis of solid pulmonary lesions with 18F-FDG uptake below the standardized uptake value of 2.5.

Benign and malignant pulmonary lesions usually are differentiated by 18F-FDG PET with a semiquantitative 18F-FDG standardized uptake value (SUV) of 2.5. However, the frequency of malignancies with an SUV of <2.5 is significant, and pulmonary nodules with low 18F-FDG uptake often present diagnostic challenges. METHODS: Among 360 consecutive patients who underwent 18F-FDG PET to evaluate pulmonary nodules found on CT, we retrospectively analyzed 43 who had solid pulmonary lesions (excluding lesions with ground-glass opacity, infiltration, or benign calcification) with an SUV of <2.5. The uptake of 18F-FDG was graded by a visual method (absent, faint, moderate, or intense) and 2 semiquantitative methods (SUV and contrast ratio [CR]). Final classification was based on histopathologic findings or at least 6 mo of clinical follow-up. RESULTS: We found 16 malignant (diameter, 8-32 mm) and 27 benign (7-36 mm) lesions. When faint visual uptake was the cutoff for positive 18F-FDG PET results, the receiver-operating-characteristic (ROC) analysis correctly identified all 16 malignancies and yielded false-positive results for 10 of 27 benign lesions. Sensitivity was 100%, specificity was 63%, and the positive and negative predictive values were 62% and 100%, respectively. When an SUV of 1.59 was the cutoff for positive 18F-FDG PET results, the ROC analysis revealed 81% sensitivity, 85% specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of 77% and 89%, respectively. At a cutoff for positive 18F-FDG PET results of a CR of 0.29, the ROC analysis revealed 75% sensitivity, 82% specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of 71% and 85%, respectively. The areas under the curve in ROC analyses did not differ significantly among the 3 analyses (visual, 0.84; SUV, 0.81; and CR, 0.82). Analyses of intra- and interobserver variabilities indicated that visual and SUV analyses were quite reproducible, whereas CR analysis was poorly reproducible. CONCLUSION: These results suggested that for solid pulmonary lesions with low 18F-FDG uptake, semiquantitative approaches do not improve the accuracy of 18F-FDG PET over that obtained with visual analysis. Pulmonary lesions with visually absent uptake indicate that the probability of malignancies is very low. In contrast, the probability of malignancy in any visually evident lesion is about 60%.     

Prognostic value of the standardized uptake value in esophageal cancer

OBJECTIVE: On PET, the level of tissue glycolysis can be quantified by the accumulation of fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose expressed as the standardized uptake value (SUV). The aims of this study were to investigate the relation between SUV and the stage of disease and whether SUV can be used to predict resectability and survival in patients with esophageal cancer. CONCLUSION: SUV can be used to predict resectability; however, SUV is not an independent factor that can be used to assess survival in patients with esophageal cancer.     

A threshold method to improve standardized uptake value reproducibility

Although standardized uptake values (SUV) are widely used to quantify the uptake of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) in tumours, there are systematic differences in the way this index is applied by different investigators. The aims of this study were to compare the effects of using maximum or mean region counts in the calculation of SUV and to investigate an alternative technique based on a fixed fraction of the maximum counts. Simulated PET projections of the thorax were generated together with spherical lesions that varied in diameter from 1.6 to 4.8 cm with uptake values of 2, 4 and 8. The lesion SUVs were determined using either the maximum (SUVmax) or mean count (SUVmean) values found in regions circumscribing the lesion. In addition, average values were calculated that only included region pixels that exceeded a selected fraction of maximum value (SUV0.6max or SUV0.75max). These methods were also applied to six clinical 18F-FDG PET studies with a total of 12 lesions. The SUVs for these lesions were determined independently by four observers. Decreases with respect to SUVmax of 57%, 23% and 14% were found for SUVmean, SUV0.6max and SUV0.75max approaches respectively in the simulation study. The variation in SUVmean with region size was 35%, while the SUV0.6max and SUV0.75max was less than 3%. Similar results were obtained for the clinical data. We conclude that the proposed technique produces SUVs that are essentially independent of lesion region size and shape. It is expected that this will provide a more stable and reliable result than current approaches.

Prognostic value of the standardized uptake value for 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose in patients with stage IIIB melanoma

Purpose

FDG PET/CT is an excellent tool to detect melanoma metastases and also allows quantification of FDG uptake using standardized uptake value (SUV). The aim of this study was to prospectively investigate the potential prognostic value of SUV for disease-free survival (DFS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) for patients with stage IIIB melanoma.

Methods

From November 2003 to March 2008, all consecutive patients were included in the present study. Inclusion criteria were: palpable, histology- or cytology-proven lymph node metastases of melanoma, and referred to the University Medical Centre Groningen for FDG PET and CT examination. Patients without distant metastases were evaluated. Multivariable survival analysis was performed to determine whether SUV was associated with DFS and DSS (Cox proportional hazard analysis).

Results

In 80 patients (without distant metastases, 65?%) SUV could be measured. Overall 5-year DFS was 41?% (95% CI 26–56?%) and 24?% (95% CI 12–38?%) in patients with a low and high SUVmean (p?=?0.02), respectively. Overall 5-year DSS was 48?% (95% CI 31–62?%) and 30?% (95% CI 17–45?%) in patients with a low and high SUVmean (p?=?0.04), respectively. In the multivariable analysis, SUVmean was associated with DFS (hazard ratio 1.7; p?=?0.048), but was not associated with DSS (hazard ratio 1.6; p?=?0.1). The number of positive nodes, extranodal growth and gender were also associated with survival.

Conclusion

FDG uptake in clinically overt nodal melanoma metastases is inversely associated with DFS. Univariate analysis showed an association with DSS. However, after adjustment for potential confounders this association was no longer significant. If these findings are confirmed in larger studies, SUVmean could potentially be used (in addition to the number of positive nodes, tumour size and extranodal growth) as a factor in deciding on adjuvant systemic treatment.     

Non-invasive estimation of the net influx constant using the standardized uptake value for quantification of FDG uptake of tumours

To reduce the variability of the standardized uptake value (SUV) which is widely used to evaluate 2-[¹⁸F]fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (FDG) uptake by neoplasms, net influx constant (Ki) was derived from SUV. The relationship Ki=SUV·k_p·V ₀, where k _p is the plasma clearance rate and V ₀ is the initial distribution volume of FDG, was utilized. A total of 71 plasma input functions were measured up to 60 min after intravenous injection of FDG in 55 patients and were analysed to obtain k _p and V ₀. SUV and V ₀ were calculated based on either body weight or body surface area. To validate the Ki estimation, another group of eight patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck was included. Parametric images of the net influx constant were obtained by Patlak graphical analysis of dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) data and measured plasma input function. V ₀ based on body weight was 0.1627±0.0329 (ml/g) and showed a weak negative correlation with body weight (y=0.23356–0.00138x, r=0.591). V ₀ based on body surface area was 5540±871 (ml/m²) and had no significant correlation with body weight. k _p at 50 min post injection was 0.03272±0.00243 (1/min), and had no correlation with the plasma glucose concentration. A highly significant positive correlation was noted between true Ki and estimated Ki based on both body weight (y=0.0033+1.0371x, r ²=0.897), and body surface area (y=0.0033+1.0351x, r ²=0.926). Ki, a better indicator of FDG uptake by tumour than SUV, is derivable non-invasively. Quantification of FDG uptake by Ki will aid standardization of diagnostic criteria of FDG PET oncology.

The value of pulmonary angiography for the differential diagnosis of pulmonary embolism

The aim this study was to evaluate potential additional information of pulmonary angiography in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism and non-diagnostic lung scan findings. In a series of 150 patients who underwent pulmonary angiography for suspected venous thromboembolism, the images for potential alternative diagnoses other than pulmonary embolism were evaluated. All patients had non-diagnostic lung scan findings. Angiography was performed both by conventional and by digital subtraction angiography techniques. Images were evaluated by at least two experienced readers. Angiograms were scored for both presence or absence of pulmonary embolism, as well as other diagnoses. Pulmonary embolism was proven in 40 patients (27 %) and excluded in 105 patients (70 %), whereas non-interpretable images were obtained in 5 patients (3 %). A range of alternative diagnoses were detected by angiography: atelectasis (n = 24), pleural effusion (n = 15), pneumonia (n = 11), emphysematous bullae (n = 8), neoplasm (n = 3), atrial septum defect (n = 2), chronic thromboembolism (n = 1), and other diagnoses (n = 3). Overall, only 54 patients (36 %) had completely normal angiograms. Although pulmonary angiography remains the reference method for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism, one has to be aware of other, often unexpected, but equally important findings which could influence the management of the patient. This aspect of pulmonary angiography has been insufficiently emphasized in the literature. Received: 2 April 1998; Revision received: 22 July 1998; Accepted: 4 November 1998

Prognostic value of lymph node-to-primary tumor standardized uptake value ratio in endometrioid endometrial carcinoma

Purpose

To determine whether the relative metabolic activity of pelvic or para-aortic LN compared with that of primary tumor measured by preoperative [¹⁸F]FDG PET/CT scan has prognostic value in patients with endometrioid endometrial carcinoma.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed patients with endometrioid endometrial carcinoma who underwent preoperative [¹⁸F]FDG PET/CT scans. Prognostic values of PET/CT-derived metabolic variables such as maximum standardized uptake value (SUV) of the primary endometrial carcinoma (SUV_Tumor) and LN (SUV_LN), and the LN-to-endometrial carcinoma SUV ratio (SUV_LN / SUV_Tumor) were assessed.

Results

Clinico-pathological data, imaging data, and treatment results were reviewed for 107 eligible patients. Median post-surgical follow-up was 23 months (range, 6–60), and 7 (6.5%) patients experienced recurrence. Regression analysis showed that SUV_LN / SUV_Tumor (P < 0.001), SUV_LN (P = 0.003), International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage (P = 0.006), and tumor grade (P = 0.011) were risk factors of recurrence. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that FIGO stage (P = 0.034) was the independent risk factor of recurrence. SUV_LN / SUV_Tumor showed significant correlation with FIGO stage (P < 0.001), LN metastasis (P < 0.001), lymphovascular space invasion (P < 0.001), recurrence (P = 0.001), tumor grade (P < 0.001), and deep myometrial invasion of tumor (P = 0.022). Patient groups categorized by SUV_LN / SUV_Tumor showed significant difference in progression-free survival (Log-rank test, P = 0.001).

Conclusions

Preoperative SUV_LN / SUV_Tumor measured by [¹⁸F]FDG PET/CT was significantly associated with recurrence, and may become a novel prognostic factor in patients with endometrioid endometrial carcinoma.

     

Can the standardized uptake value characterize primary brain tumors on FDG-PET?

The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of measuring the standardized uptake value (SUV) in primary brain tumors on fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) scans. Two groups of patients were studied. Whole-brain glucose cerebral metabolic rates (wCMRs) and SUVs were obtained in 20 normal subjects. Twenty-seven patients with histology-proven malignant primary CNS tumors (high-grade gliomas n=22, primitive neuroectodermal tumors n=3, ependymomas n=2) were also studied. The degree of FDG uptake was assessed by visual inspection and thereafter regions of interest were placed over the lesion, the contralateral cortex and white matter and the whole brain. Average (avg) and maximum (max) pixel values were determined in each site. Based on these measurements, SUV, tumor to cortex (T/C) and tumor to white matter (T/WM) activity ratios were calculated. There was no correlation between wCMRs (4.55±0.36 mg min^–1 100 g^–1) and wSUVs (5.41±0.43) in the normal subjects (r=0.18, P=0.45). In the second group,17 lesions were described as definitely and seven as probably malignant. However, SUVs in these tumors and in the contralateral cortex were not significantly different. Although the SUVs were generally higher in the tumor than in the contralateral white matter, there was a significant overlap between the values. The range of the SUVs was wide: 2.54–11.8 for the tumors, 2.98–9.96 for the cortex and 1.87–6.76 for the white matter. SUVs in the normal cortex were negatively correlated with blood glucose level at the time of the injection. SUVs in the whole brain and in the cortex were lower in patients previously treated by irradiation, even months after completion of the treatment. No correlation was detectable between any of the SUVs and the age of the patients, tumor type, time post injection, use of dexamethasone, patient weight, dose injected and visual score. With cutoff levels of 1.5 for T max/WM and 0.6 for T max/C, the sensitivity of the activity ratios was 74% and 96% respectively. In conclusion, SUVs do not correlate with CMRs across subjects and appear to be of limited value in characterizing brain tumors. Visual assessment and measurement of the activity ratios currently remain the most reliable methods of analysis.
