Quantification of pulmonary disease activity in sarcoidosis measured with (18)F-FDG PET/CT: SUVmax versus total lung glycolysis

BACKGROUND: (18)F-FDG PET/CT has proven to be a reliable tool for therapy monitoring in sarcoidosis. Previous PET studies investigated the SUVmax as a marker for disease activity. Total lung glycolysis (TLuG) is a new tool, quantifying the glycolysis of the entire lung. Since SUVmax represents the m...
