Abstract:
18 F?FDG PET/CT has been increasingly used in diagnosis, staging, treatment response assessment and prognosis prediction of malignant tumors. As the main organ of carbohydrate metabolism, liv?er is commonly taken as reference organ in disease diagnosis and imaging quality control. Hepatic FDG up?take in healthy people is affected by various physiological, potential pathological and imaging technical fac?tors, as well as inter?individual variation. Besides, variation of SUV caused by different calibrating methods cannot be neglected. The factors that affecting hepatic FDG uptake based on findings in recent studies are summarized in this review.
