Risk Stratification of Gallbladder Polyps (1-2 cm) for Surgical Intervention with ^sup 18^F-FDG PET/CT

Risk Stratification of Gallbladder Polyps (1-2 cm) for Surgical Intervention with ^sup 18^F-FDG PET/CT

We assessed the value of ^sup 18^F-FDG uptake in the gallbladder polyp (GP) in risk stratification for surgical intervention and the optimal cutoff level of the parameters derived from GP ^sup 18^F-FDG uptake for differentiating malignant from benign etiologies in a select, homogeneous group of pati...

Zusammenfassung:We assessed the value of ^sup 18^F-FDG uptake in the gallbladder polyp (GP) in risk stratification for surgical intervention and the optimal cutoff level of the parameters derived from GP ^sup 18^F-FDG uptake for differentiating malignant from benign etiologies in a select, homogeneous group of patients with 1- to 2-cm GPs. Methods: Fifty patients with 1- to 2-cm GPs incidentally found on the CT portion of PET/CT were retrospectively analyzed. All patients had histologic diagnoses. GP ^sup 18^F-FDG activity was visually scored positive (≥liver) or negative (
