Multifunctional Profiling of Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer Using ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT and Volume Perfusion CT

Abstract

(18)F-FDG uptake correlates with Ki67, whereas BF, BV, and K(trans) correlate with MVD. Therefore, (18)F-FDG uptake and perfusion parameters provide complementary functional information. An improved tumor profiling will be beneficial for both prognosis and therapy response evaluation in these tumors.
