Textural features and SUV-based variables assessed by dual time point 18F-FDG PET/CT in locally advanced breast cancer

Abstract

Significant differences of textural features were found in dual time point 18F-FDG PET/CT. Thus, a dynamic behavior of metabolic characteristics should be expected, with higher heterogeneity in delayed PET acquisition compared with the standard PET. A greater heterogeneity was found in bigger tumors.
