Relationship Between Dual Time Point FDG PET/CT and Clinical Prognostic Indexes in Patients with High Grade Lymphoma: a Pilot Study

FDG PET MIPs of stage I diffuse large B cell lymphoma. (a) Early FDG PET MIP shows a hypermetabolic lymph node (arrow) along right cervical level II. Metabolic and volumetric parameters were as follows: early SUVmax 11.5; early MTV 6528 mm3. (b) Delayed FDG PET was performed 2 hours after early scan. Metabolic and volumetric parameters were as follows: delayed SUVmax 13.3; early MTV 6720 mm3. RImax and MVDI were 15.72% and 4.81%, respectivel
