Correlation between tissue metabolism and cellularity assessed by standardized uptake value and apparent diffusion coefficient in peritoneal metastasis

Abstract

There was a significant inverse correlation between SUV and ADC.

Standardized uptake value and apparent diffusion coefficient of endometrial cancer evaluated with integrated whole‐body PET/MR: Correlation with pathological prognostic factors

“…21,22 Many studies have also shown an inverse correlation between SUV max and ADC min in various types of cancers, including nonsmall-cell lung cancer, rectal cancer, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, cervical cancer, and endometrial cancer. 6,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] A study reported by Nakamura et al 6 showed a strong inverse correlation (r 5 -0.677; P < 0.001) between SUV max derived from PET/CT and ADC min derived from MRI of primary tumors in 131 patients with endometrial cancer. Although the different principles of attenuation correction in PET/CT and PET/MR 23,24 may result in discrepancies in SUV measurements, several studies have shown a high correlation between SUV derived from PET/ CT and PET/MR.…”

“…Results of previous studies have shown an inverse correlation between SUV max derived from PET/CT and ADC min derived from MRI in various types of cancers, including endometrial cancer . The recently introduced integrated PET/MR system has provided a platform for simultaneous multiparametric imaging, with reduced misregistration artifacts and possible physiologic changes during the time interval between PET and MRI examinations.…”

“…[6][7][8][9][10] Results of previous studies have shown an inverse correlation between SUV max derived from PET/CT and ADCmin derived from MRI in various types of cancers, including endometrial cancer. 6,[11][12][13][14] The recently introduced integrated PET/MR system has provided a platform for simultaneous multiparametric imaging, with reduced misregistration artifacts and possible physiologic changes during the time interval between PET and MRI examinations. Recent studies have utilized this new platform and demonstrated an inverse correlation between SUV max and ADC min in different types of neoplasms, such as lung cancer, cervical cancer, and metastasis.…”

Concordance of FDG PET/CT metabolic tumour volume versus DW-MRI functional tumour volume with T2-weighted anatomical tumour volume in cervical cancer

“…The clinical utilisation of functional imaging in gynaecological malignancy is evolving [ 2 – 4 ]. In the era of more sophisticated treatment options such as image-guided adaptive radiotherapy, functional imaging techniques such as diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) and 18 F–fluoro-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography integrated with computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) have been demonstrated to provide information for more precise definition of radiation target [ 5 – 7 ].…”

Relationship between intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted MRI and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI in tissue perfusion of cervical cancers

“…ADVANCED IMAGING TECHNIQUES are increasingly applied in the evaluation of gynecological cancers . Emerging evidence suggests that diffusion‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) improves tissue characterization, staging, and response to treatment in cervical cancer .…”
