From: Impact of maximum Standardized Uptake Value (SUVmax) evaluated by 18-Fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG-PET/CT) on survival for patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma: a preliminary report

Figure 2

Four Cases with advanced RCC which metastatic sites showed the highest value of SUV among all RCC sites and their prognosis. A cranial bone metastasis showed the highest SUV among all RCC sites in Patient 9. A metastasis in thoracic vertebra did in Patinet 19. Lung metastases did in Patient 1 and Patient 2. The patients with advanced RCCs having high values of SUV max demonstrated poor clinical courses. SUVmax, maximum standardized uptake value; CT, computed tomography; PET, positron emission tomography; Fused PET/CT, fusion of PET and CT.
