Abstract

To investigate the optimal cut-off of the maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) for the detection of colorectal neoplasms and to suggest those for whom further colonoscopy is recommended among patients with incidental colonic uptake on positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT). In 306 patients who underwent colonoscopy within 3 months of receiving PET-CT between January and December 2009, measurements of the per-patient and per-lesion diagnostic performance of PET-CT for the detection of colonic neoplasms were obtained. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to identify the SUVmax that provided a high probability of diagnosing malignancy and high-grade dysplasia. The per-patient and per-lesion PET-CT detection sensitivities for malignancies were 93.3% (28/30; 95% confidence interval (CI) 76.5% to 98.9%) and 93.5% (29/31, 95% CI 77.2% to 98.9%), respectively; the sensitivities for high-grade dysplasia were both 90.0% (9/10; 95% CI 54.1% to 99.5%). As a criterion to specifically detect both malignancy and high-grade dysplasia on focal uptake, a SUVmax greater than 2.5 yielded a 92.3% per-lesion sensitivity and a 42.9% per-lesion positive predictive value (PPV). In the ROC curve analysis, a cut-...Continue Reading

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
