Standardization of [F-18]FDG PET/CT for response evaluation by the Radiologic Society of North America-Quantitative Imaging Biomarker Alliance (RSNA-QIBA) profile: preliminary results from the Japan-QIBA (J-QIBA) activities for Asian international multicenter phase II trial

Purpose In an Asian international multicenter phase II trial conducted in patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL), [F-18]FDG-PET/CT was used for evaluation of the therapeutic response. Standardization of the PET/CT scanners was necessary before patient enrollment. We therefore standardized the scanners by phantom tests based on the profile approved by the Quantitative Imaging Biomarkers Alliance (QIBA) of Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
