In oncologic PET, the SUV and standardized uptake ratio (SUR) of a viable tumor generally increase during the postinjection period. In contrast, the net influx rate (Ki), which is derived from dynamic PET data, should remain relatively constant. Uptake-time-corrected SUV (cSUV) and SUR (cSUR) have been proposed as uptake-time-independent, static alternatives to Ki. Our primary aim was to quantify the intrascan repeatability of Ki, SUV, cSUV, SUR, and cSUR among malignant lesions on PET/CT. An exploratory aim was to assess the ability of cSUR to estimate Ki. Methods: This prospective, single-center study enrolled adults undergoing standard-of-care oncologic PET/CT. SUV and Ki images were reconstructed from dynamic PET data obtained before (~35–50 min after injection) and after (~75–90 min after injection) standard-of-care imaging. Tumors were manually segmented. Quantitative metrics were extracted. cSUVs and cSURs were calculated for a 60-min postinjection reference uptake time. The magnitude of the intrascan test–retest percent change (test–retest |%|) was calculated. Coefficients of determination (R2) and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were also computed. Differences between metrics were assessed via the Wilcoxon signed-rank test (α, 0.05). Results: This study enrolled 78 subjects; 41 subjects (mean age, 63.8 y; 24 men) with 116 lesions were analyzed. For both tracers, SUVmax and maximum SUR (SURmax) had large early-to-late increases (i.e., poor intrascan repeatability). Among [18F]FDG-avid lesions (n = 93), there were no differences in intrascan repeatability (median test–retest |%|; ICC) between the maximum Ki (Ki,max) (13%; 0.97) and either the maximum cSUV (cSUVmax) (12%, P = 0.90; 0.96) or the maximum cSUR (cSURmax) (13%, P = 0.67; 0.94). For DOTATATE-avid lesions (n = 23), there were no differences in intrascan repeatability between the Ki,max (11%; 0.98) and either the cSUVmax (13%, P = 0.41; 0.98) or the cSURmax (11%, P = 0.08; 0.94). The SUVmax, cSUVmax, SURmax, and cSURmax were all strongly correlated with the Ki,max for both [18F]FDG (R2, 0.81–0.92) and DOTATATE (R2, 0.88–0.96), but the cSURmax provided the best agreement with the Ki,max across early-to-late time points for [18F]FDG (ICC, 0.69–0.75) and DOTATATE (ICC, 0.90–0.91). Conclusion: Ki,max, cSUVmax, and cSURmax had low uptake time dependence compared with SUVmax and SURmax. The Ki,max can be predicted from cSURmax.

一般肿瘤 PET/CT 人群肿瘤活动的定量评估:哪个指标可以最大限度地减少示踪剂摄取时间依赖性?



在肿瘤学 PET 中,活肿瘤的 SUV 和标准化摄取比 (SUR) 通常在注射后期间增加。相反,从动态 PET 数据得出的净流入率 ( K i ) 应保持相对恒定。摄取时间校正 SUV (cSUV) 和 SUR (cSUR) 已被提议作为K i 的与摄取时间无关的静态替代方案。我们的主要目的是量化 PET/CT 恶性病变中K i 、SUV、cSUV、SUR 和 cSUR 的扫描内重复性。探索性目的是评估 cSUR 估计K i的能力。方法:这项前瞻性、单中心研究招募了接受标准护理肿瘤学 PET/CT 的成年人。 SUV 和K i图像是根据标准护理成像之前(注射后约 35-50 分钟)和之后(注射后约 75-90 分钟)获得的动态 PET 数据重建的。手动分割肿瘤。提取了定量指标。根据注射后 60 分钟参考摄取时间计算 cSUV 和 cSUR。计算扫描内测试-再测试百分比变化的大小(测试-再测试 |%|)。还计算了决定系数 ( R 2 ) 和组内相关系数 (ICC)。通过 Wilcoxon 符号秩检验(α,0.05)评估指标之间的差异。结果:本研究纳入了 78 名受试者;对具有 116 个病变的 41 名受试者(平均年龄 63.8 岁;24 名男性)进行了分析。对于两种示踪剂,SUV max和最大 SUR (SUR max ) 从早期到晚期都有较大的增加(即扫描内重复性差)。 在 [ 18 F]FDG 强烈病变 ( n = 93) 中,最大K i ( K i ,max ) (13%; 0.97) 之间的扫描内重复性(中位测试-重测 |%|; ICC)没有差异以及最大 cSUV (cSUV max ) (12%, P = 0.90; 0.96) 或最大 cSUR (cSUR max ) (13%, P = 0.67; 0.94)。对于 DOTATATE 强烈病变 ( n = 23), K i ,max (11%; 0.98) 与 cSUV max (13%, P = 0.41; 0.98) 或 cSUR max ( 11%, P =0.08; [ 18 F]FDG ( R 2 , 0.81–0.92) 和 DOTATATE ( R 2 , 0.88–0.96) 的 SUV max 、 cSUV max 、 SUR max和 cSUR max均与K i ,max强相关,但是对于 [ 18 F]FDG (ICC, 0.69–0.75) 和 DOTATATE (ICC, 0.90–0.91),cSUR maxK i ,max在早到晚时间点上提供了最佳一致性。结论:与 SUV max和 SUR max相比, K i ,max 、cSUV max和 cSUR max的摄取时间依赖性较低。 K i ,max可以根据 cSUR max进行预测。
