  • MR FDG is the Ki multiplied by the blood glucose value, whereas DV reflects the free 18 F FDG available prior to the beginning of phosphorylation of FDG, which is an estimate for the vascularity and interstitial fluid components of the tissue being evaluated. (siemens-healthineers.com)
  • The right lung base lesion (2.06 cm in longest diameter) is of similar size to the mediastinal metastases (2.36 cm longest diameter) but with significantly lower SUV max and MR FDG and slightly higher DV, which suggests an inflammatory lesion with a lower level of glucose utilization and slightly higher vascularity and interstitial fluid related to inflammation-related tissue fluid retention.
