The aim of this retrospective study of the scintimetric characterization of primary tumours of different cancers using dual step PETCT scans is to prove the utility of Rong's Retention ratio and Dr. V. Siva's modification of RRI.
The SUV max values were obtained in the Early and Delayed PETCT scans using the
ROI method over the FDG avid primary sites in the proven cases of different
cancers. The PETCT scans were performed using the GE Discovery IQ unit one and
four hours after receiving an I.V injection of 5 to 10 mCi of F18-FDG following
an overnight quick. GE's Advantage 4.7 software was used to perform the image
analysis and measure the SUV. The determined SUV max was used to arrive at the
Rongs Retention Index (RRI) and Dr. V. Siva's adjustment of RRI, which included
a total of 19 primary sites in different locations. The data was tallied and
analysed.
The retention ratio of Rong had a very narrow range with a lot of overlap. Dr.
V. Siva's RRI modification, on the other hand, showed much broader values with
a clear cutoff stage. The statistical analysis of the data shows that Dr. V. Siva's
RRI adjustment has a strong correlation with Rong's Retention Index (RRI).
