The standardized uptake value (SUV) formulas are used in positron emission tomography (PET) analysis. Radiotracer concentration can be measured for any area-based region of interest (ROI) such as circle, square, polygon, etc. The SUV formulas depend on certain attributes in the DICOM image without which SUV values cannot be calculated.
OnePacs Web Viewer provides the following SUV types
Body Weight (SUV bw)
Body Surface Area (SUV bsa)
- Lean Body Mass (SUV lbm)
N/A will be displayed in the event that SUV calculations are not available (e.g. due to missing DICOM attributes).
SUV calculations can independently be shown/hidden by User Preferences
