摘要

Purpose. Quantitative PET response assessment during therapy requires regions of interest (ROI). Commonly, a fixed-size ROI is placed at the maximum uptake point in the pretreatment study. For intratreatment, the ROI is placed either at the maximum uptake point (ROIpeak) or at the same location as the pretreatment ROI (ROIsame). We have evaluated the effects of the ROI placement on response assessment.Methods. PET scans of 15 head and neck cancer patients were used to evaluate the effects of the two ROI methods on response assessment.Results. The average intratreatment ROIpeakuptake was 13.4% higher than the ROIsameuptake (range −14% to 38%). The average relative change in ROIpeakuptake was 7.9% lower than ROIsameuptake (range −5% to 36%), resulting in ambiguous tumour classification in 19% of the tumours.Conclusion. Quantitative PET response assessment using a fixed-size ROI is sensitive the ROI placement. The difference between ROIpeakand ROIsamecould be substantial resulting in ambiguous response assessment. Although the fixed-size ROI is simple to implement, it is also prone to the limitations and should be used with caution. Clinical trial data are necessary to establish reliable thresholds for fixed-size ROI techniques and to evaluate their efficacy for response assessment.
