Metabolic Tumor Volume by 18F-FDG PET/CT Can Predict the Clinical Outcome of Primary Malignant Spine/Spinal Tumors

Background and Purpose. Primary malignant spine/spinal tumors (PMSTs) are rare and life-threatening diseases. In this study, we demonstrated the advantage of volume-based 18F-FDG PET/CT metabolic parameter, metabolic tumor volume (MTV), for assessing the aggressiveness of PMSTs. Materials and Method...
