Module Description

This module computes Standardized Uptake Value (SUV) based on patient body weight, using a PET image and one or more manually drawn VOIs. SUV-bw for VOIs of different color (id) will be assessed separately.

Usage

Use Cases, Examples

This module can be used to quantify tumor response to treatment. Typically, an initial PET/CT study is done prior to treatment, and a followup study is registered to it. ROIs can be specified on the initial study and used to compute SUVmax-bw and SUVmean-bw on both studies.
