Quantitative PET Imaging in Oncology Advancements and Clinical Applications
Received Date: Oct 01, 2024 / Published Date: Oct 31, 2024
Abstract
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) has established itself as a cornerstone in oncology imaging, offering valuable insights into the metabolic and functional characteristics of tumors. Recent advancements in quantitative PET imaging techniques have significantly enhanced its diagnostic and prognostic utility in cancer care. By measuring parameters such as standardized uptake values (SUV), total lesion glycolysis (TLG), and metabolic tumor volume (MTV), quantitative PET allows for more accurate assessment of tumor biology, treatment response, and patient prognosis. This paper reviews the principles behind quantitative PET imaging, highlights its clinical applications in oncology, discusses emerging trends, and identifies challenges and future directions in integrating quantitative PET into routine clinical practice.
