Treatment Response Evaluation in Necrotizing Otitis Externa Using 18F-FDG-PET Imaging
SUVpeak on 18 F-FDG-PET was the preferred parameter for treatment response evaluation of NOE at the end-of-treatment scan. A high residual SUVpeak may adequately detect patients at risk for recurrent disease, which may necessitate prolonged treatment, while low SUVpeak is found in patients with low risk for recurrent disease permitting safe treatment cessation.
