FDG PET/CT
FDG-PET/CT Technical Committee
Breakout 081204
Regular meetings of working groups with RSNA administrative
support and milestones for delivery during 2009
Regular “SNM cross-over” each TC tcon
Communication of recommendations to vendors with reasonable
expectation of implementation timeframe
Expanded list of co-variates
New Profiles
•QC
•Export standards (RIC, cross-check, Bresolin)
•De-identification irrespective of medium (DICOM cross-check)
•Trials and service apps (public & private label & access)
•Performance elements and standards (Yap)
Monitoring Rx Benefit = Individualized Medicine
Convergence of Biomarkers and Diagnostics
H/o Commercial Dx
Biomarkers become Dx
Individuals - thresholds
Population means, s
Categorical, staging
Continuous, quantitative
Workflow/# studies
Automation/bias
Binary – choice of Rx
Longitudinal – monitor Rx
Quantifying the effects of drugs in development
may beg access to biomarkers as diagnostics
Quantitative Imaging
Are we there yet?
Tumor Tracking Application
Simplifying cancer patient management
Compare, analyze,
and track tumor
progression with up
to six sequential
PET/CT studies
SUV-based semi automatic tumor
segmentation
Measurement of
changes in tumor
volume and
metabolic activity
Export tables and
graphs or 3D
contours

Molecular Imaging
1. Automatic co-registration of
multiple studies
2. Automatic segmentation of
VOI based on % or SUV
3. CT or PET-guided lesion

Assessment
Compare tumors
across any number of
time points for
multiple modalities
Gradient-based PET
segmentation for
more accurate tumor
volumes and
statistics
Export statistics for
sharing with referring
physicians
Accurate registration
allows the same
region to be
compared

GE PET VCAR…Powerful Longitudinal Analysis
Automatically register serial studies for
longitudinal accuracy
Automatically segment and propagate
ROIs for efficiency and robustness
Quantify serial changes with a
comprehensive set of metrics (SUV,
Total Lesion Glycolysis, Functional
Volume) and present in tabulated and
graphical form
Export tabulated data for easy
utilization in 3rd party analysis routines
FDG-PET/CT Technical Committee
Aim
The aim of the QIBA FDG-PET/CT Technical
Committee is to foster adoption of
•pragmatic and cost-effective standards for
•accurate and reproducible quantitation of
•tumor metabolism via
•longitudinal measures by FDG-PET/CT, with
•clinical relevance and known sigma.
