SUV Calculation (syngo Image Fusion)
In the Fusion Definition dialog box, the SUV (standard uptake
value) checkbox is displayed for PET images. If checked, the
value for SUV activity of tissue rather than the default per-
cent-age values can be used when changing the image display.
CAUTION
SUV ( Standard Uptake Value (PET) - represents the glucose rate
of consumption for a particular ROI) calculation is based on ear-
liest acquisition date and time within the selected and loaded
A . 4
data set and the first image (with earliest acquisition date and
time) is not within the selection.
Incorrect SUV calculation.
Make sure to select the first image of the data set for correct
calculation.
