Figure 1. Clinical patterns of 18FDG-uptake in SPN of the pancreas.

Figure 1

Clinical patterns of 18F-FDG uptake in SPNs were categorized according to the proportion of 18F-FDG uptake over the whole tumor volume (Hot type: ≥ 70% (A, B), Mixed type: 30% ≤ < 70% (C, D), and Defective type: < 30% (E, F)). When correlating the clinical patterns of 18FDG-uptake with radiologic tumor size and PET-parameters, radiologic tumor size (G, p = 0.002) and SUVmax (H, p = 0,001) were significant different according to pattern of 18F-FDG uptake in SPNs of the pancreas. Mixed type of SPN was shown to be large in size with high intensity of 18FDG uptake. (**ANOVA, p > 0.05).
