Target lesions represent tumors treated with RFA. SUV: standard uptake value of fluorodeoxyglucose F18 in PET scan; LD: largest diameter of target lesions; FDG: fluorodeoxyglucose F18.

Complete (any 2) | Lesion disappearance or scar < 25% original size | Cyst or cavity formation | SUV < 2. 5 |
Partial (any 1) | Decrease of > 30% in LD of target lesion | Low density of entire lesion Central necrosis or central cavitation with liquid density | Decreased SUV or area of FDG uptake |
Stable lesion (any 1) | Decrease of < 30% in LD of target lesion | Mass solid appearance, no Central necrosis or cavity | Unchanged SUV or area of FDG uptake |
Progression (any 2) | Increase of > 20% in LD of target lesion | Solid mass, invasion adjacent structures | Higher SUV |
