Does integrated PET/CT accurately grade synchronous liposarcomas based on metabolic activity?
Integrated PET/CT imaging can accurately grade synchronous liposarcomas based on metabolic activity and radio-opacity prior to pathology.
Reddy et al. (2007) conducted a case report in Synchronous liposarcomas (n=1). PET-CT with FDG was evaluated on Grading of liposarcomas based on FDG activity and CT radio-opacity. Integrated PET/CT imaging accurately differentiated the grades of 3 synchronous liposarcomas in a single patient based on varying FDG activity and CT radio-opacity.
