Rapid Standardized CT-Based Method to Determine Lean Body Mass SUV for PET—A Significant Improvement Over Prediction Equations

In 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) studies, maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) is the parameter commonly used to provide a measurement of the metabolic activity of a tumor. SUV normalized by body mass is affected by the proportions of body fat and lean tis...
