| Summary: | The role of Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT)
modalities is becoming more important concomitantly with the increase of
oncology cases in Malaysia. Thus, it is the perfect time to perform a study to
standardise the PET/CT image quality in Malaysia. This study aimed to compare
the quantification of image quality of PET/CT with a standardised uptake value
(SUV) parameter. In general, this study was carried out with the purpose of
identifying the standardisation of quantification of standardised uptake value,
SUVcontrolled for 18F-FDG PET between two independent PET modalities at two
different institutions.
The analysis was done on the SUVcontrolled of technical techniques (PET phantom)
as a control standard for the validation of the PET-CT images of selected subjects
with Fasting Blood Glucose index as the adjusted index to synchronise the two
independent data sets. It was found that the SUVcontrolled was a potential
conversion marker to validate the in vivo standardisation techniques for the two
independent PET/CT modality systems based on the reference standard of the
matched FBS and the in vitro 18F-FDG phantom. This study confirmed that the
two independent PET modalities at paired-centre could potentially be
standardised on the independent image quality based on the SUVmax
quantification as the two independent measured were insignificantly different. |
