Article Abstract
With the progress of medical oncology, it became apparent that anatomical imaging is oftentimes insufficient for therapy response evaluation. Hybrid imaging, namely F-FDG PET/CT has helped to overcome these limitations. The aim of this paper is to emphasize the utility and impact in clinical use of F-FDG PET/CT, and to give an overview of the most important F-FDG PET/CT tumor response criteria. We also focus on standardization of hybrid imaging techniques as this is of outmost importance to provide reliable imaging evaluation.

Prediction of lymph node metastasis in lung adenocarcinoma using a PET/CT radiomics-based ensemble learning model and its pathological basis.
Front Oncol

Department of Radiology, The Affiliated Panyu Central Hospital, Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou, China.
Objectives: Lymph node metastasis (LNM) is an important factor affecting the stage and prognosis of patients with lung adenocarcinoma. The purpose of this study is to explore the predictive value of the stacking ensemble learning model based on F-FDG PET/CT radiomic features and clinical risk factors for LNM in lung adenocarcinoma, and elucidate the biological basis of predictive features through pathological analysis.
Methods: Ninety patients diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma who underwent PET/CT were retrospectively analyzed and randomly divided into the training and testing sets in a 7:3 ratio.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a highly aggressive type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Accurate evaluation of treatment response is essential for effective management. This case report discusses the potential role of ⁶⁸Ga-Pentixafor positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in comparison to F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT for assessing treatment response in a patient with DLBCL.

Metastatic renal osteosarcoma is a rare entity. We report a case of a 52-year-old male postright nephrectomy status presented to us with metastatic renal osteosarcoma. 18-fluorine- fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) avid lesions were seen in the right renal bed with extension to adjacent hepatic parenchyma.

Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a rare systemic non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis with multiple organ involvement. Being a rare disease with variable clinical manifestations, it is often difficult to diagnose. F-2-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) plays a vital role in assessing disease extent and severity, diagnosis, treatment response and is a potential biomarker for BRAF mutation.
