Article: Scientists at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital target life sciences.

Data detailed in 'Assessment of tumour response with (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography using three-dimensional measures compared to SUVmax--a phantom study' have been presented. "SUVmax is currently the most common semi-quantitative method of response assessment on FDG PET. By defining the tumor volume of interest (VOI), a measure of total glycolytic volume (TGV) may be obtained," researchers in Nedlands, Australia report (see also Life Sciences).

"We aimed to comprehensively examine, in a phantom setting, the accuracy of TGV in reflecting actual lesion activity and to compare TGV with SUVmax for response assessment. The algorithms for VOI ...
