Evaluation of the efficacy of 18F-FDG PET-CT combined with CT in detecting lymph node metastasis in liver cancer
The application of the optimal threshold values can further enhance the diagnostic accuracy of <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET-CT in detecting regional lymph node metastasis. The proposed criteria for lymph node metastasis were an SUVmax greater than 2.25 or a short diameter exceeding 8.5 mm. This information may assist in the formulation and optimisation of treatment plans for patients with liver cancer.
