Fig. 3From: Retrospective audit of 957 consecutive 18F-FDG PET–CT scans compared to CT and MRI in 493 patients with different histological subtypes of bone and soft tissue sarcomaThe distributions of the highest SUVmax values per 18F-FDG PET–CT scan with respect to examples of sarcoma cases defined histologically as low and high-grade. a The highest SUVmax values in each of 957 PET–CT scans are shown with respect to histologically low-or high-grade sarcoma (e.g. low-grade soft tissue sarcoma, chondrosarcoma, MPNST). Note the overlap of SUVmax values between high and low-grade sarcoma in the range of SUVmax values of 4-8 (dashed line at 5). Specific comparison of SUVmax values between; b high and low-grade chondrosarcoma, c high and low-grade malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours, and d leiomyosarcoma arising from gynaecological (uterine) versus non-gynaecological originBack to article page
