Abstract

Standardized Uptake Value (SUV) is an important semiquantitative measurement used in the clinical and research domains to assess radiopharmaceutical concentration in tumors versus normal organs, but is susceptible to many factors beyond the tumor biological environment. So, the aim of this study is to identify the optimum internal reference among organs with physiological uptake in 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT (DOTA PET/CT) scans.
