Table.1 Qualitative assessment of the lesions on 18F FDG PET-CT
Reference FDG uptake | Lesion FDG-avidity lower than mediastinal blood pool /liver (SUVmax less than or equal to 2.5 g/dl) | Lesion avidity higher than mediastinal blood pool/liver (SUVmax more than to 2.5 g/dl) |
|---|---|---|
Mediastinal blood pool (8) | Negative lesion | Positive lesion |
Liver (9) | Negative lesion | Positive lesion |
