FDG-PET/CT tumor to liver SUV ratio (TLR), tumor SUVmax, and tumor size: can this help in differentiating squamous cell carcinoma from adenocarcinoma of the lung?

FDG-PET/CT tumor to liver SUV ratio (TLR), tumor SUVmax, and tumor size: can this help in differentiating squamous cell carcinoma from adenocarcinoma of the lung?

Abstract Background PET/CT plays an essential role in the diagnosis, staging, and follow-up of lung cancer. We aimed to assess the ability of PET/CT to differentiate between adenocarcinomas (AC) and squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) of the lung using tumor size, tumor maximum standardized uptake value...
