Risk Stratification of Pediatric Patients With Neuroblastoma Using Volumetric Parameters of 18F-FDG and 18F-DOPA PET/CT.
This study determined the prognostic value of volumetric parameters derived from pretreatment F-FDG and F-DOPA PET/CT of neuroblastoma and their correlation with clinical and histopathologic features. ⋯ Pretherapeutic F-DOPA and F-FDG PET provided complementary information, and both can be served for risk stratification. Volumetric indices of F-DOPA and F-FDG PET correlate more highly with risk grouping.
