Table 2.
The fractional metastatic signal in the subset of patients with metastatic disease for whom interpretable T2-weighted MRI data were available (n=10)
| Patient | FU Half-life (min) | FMS | Mets |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 8.9 | 0.05 | + |
| B | 11.9 | 0.05 | + |
| C | 15.5 | 0.49 | + |
| E | 9.4 | 0.52 | + |
| F | 7.5 | 0.19 | + |
| G | 7.4 | 0.10 | + |
| I | 5.9 | 0.21 | + |
| J | 11.8 | 0.05 | + |
| M | 9.3 | 0.27 | + |
| P | 4.9 | 0.19 | + |
The FMS is the fraction of detected 19F signal which would result from metastases if 5FU and its metabolites were distributed uniformly throughout the liver and metastases
