Predictive Value of Quantitative Parameters of ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT in Patients with Liposarcoma.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the predictive features of baseline F-18-fluorodeoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography (¹⁸F-FDG PET)/computed tomography (CT) parameters in patients with dedifferentiated liposarcomas (DDLPSs) and well-differentiated liposarcomas (WDLPSs) receiving systemic treatment. A total of 24 patients with liposarcoma who underwent longitudinal ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT in systemic therapy were included. All volumetric segmentation of each tumor section and semiquantitative imaging parameters were extracted from the axial field of view from both PET and CT images. Maximum, mean, and minimum standardized uptake values (SUVmax, SUVmean, and SUVmin), Hounsfield units (HUs), and their respective changes from baseline and posttreatment were calcula
