Methods and Materials
A total of 70 patients of 82 sites with a histological diagnosis of extranodal MALT lymphoma were referred. All informations were obtained from a retrospective review of medical records, PET findings and data.
FDG-PET imaging was performed using ECAT EXACT HR 47, ECAT ACCEL, BIOGRAPH DUO LSO (PET/CT), or Aquiduo 16 (PET/CT). Imaging was performed at 60 minutes after the intravenous administration of 185-250 MBq F18-FDG.
Each patient had been fasting for at least 4 hours when imaged, and a normal glucose level was confirmed prior to the PET scan. Regional FDG uptake in the affected area was expressed as standardized uptake value (SUV).
Stastical anlysis of defferenced between each site, stage was carried out using SPSS Regression Modes 9.0J.
