What does a suv of 2.6 mean on a pet cat scan?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A standardized uptake value incorporates the patient's size & the injected dose. A value over 2.0 is considered positive for malignancy. In addition, this value is also used in assessing a patient's response to chemotherapy. The oncologist can advise you further.
