| Research Abstract |
Intratumoral heterogeneity of radiotracer uptake is often observed on new-generation PET systems. We developed the method of quantitative analysis for intratumoral heterogeneity in human PET images. Comparison of lymphoma and gastrointestinal stromal tumor or of uterine cervical and endometrial cancer revealed the latter of each analysis showed greater heterogeneity. Intratumoral heterogeneity was demonstrated to change after treatment in the evaluation of esophageal cancer and lung cancer before and after chemotherapy. Greater intratumoral heterogeneity in the pretreatment status associated with poor treatment response.
