  The Physical Parameters Variation Related to the Standard Uptake Value and Mass Activity in the Benign and Malignant Adrenal gland
  Author(s): Maryam Amer M* and Nadiya Y Mohammed
  
  Background: This study is to evaluate the benign and malignant of adrenal mass using physics parameters of standard uptake value and mass activity through pet/CT scan. Materials and Methods: The study involved 47 patients which were diagnosed with adrenal gland tumors by a nuclear medicine physician. Before the PET/CT scan, patients must adhere to specific fasting protocols, including abstaining from carbohydrates and sugars for 12 hours and from food for 6 hours. However, they were being permitted to consume water. Patient is injected intravenously by 18-FDG with 0.1 mci per kilogram of body weight. The volume of interest (VOI) and Region of interest (ROI) was determined manually or semi-automatically. The physics parameters used in this study are Adrenal Mass Activity 3D and 2D (MBq), Adrenal Max SUVs (MBq/ml) Results: According to the Pet /CT scan image, blood t.. Read More»
