A semi-automated technique determining the liver standardized uptake value reference for tumor delineation in FDG PET-CT.

A semi-automated technique determining the liver standardized uptake value reference for tumor delineation in FDG PET-CT.

18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)-computed tomography (CT) has been an essential modality in oncology. We propose a semi-automated algorithm to objectively determine liver standardized uptake value (SUV), which is used as a threshold for tumor delineation.A large spheri...
