dc.description.abstractBackground We aimed to evaluate the efficiency of dual time-point fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/computed tomography (CT) imaging in detecting primary and metastatic lesions in gastric cancer. Methods Between May 2019 and January 2020, 52 patients with gastric carcinoma were prospectively involved in our study. And dual time-point FDG PET/CT imaging performed to the patients. Of detected primary and metastatic lesions, the ones that are better visualized or only appear in delayed imaging were visually identified. Also, maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of the primary and metastatic lesions and the intact liver tissue were measured in early and delayed imaging. Acquired SUVmax values and SUVmax ratios were compared statistically. Results In delayed images, lesions were better visualized in 32 patients (61.5%) and extra lesions were detected in 4 patients (7.7%). SUVmax of primary tumor, SUVmax of liver metastases, SUVmax of lymph node metastases, primary tumor SUVmax/liver SUVmax ratio and lymph node metastasis SUVmax/liver SUVmax ratio were significantly higher in delayed images (P < 0.001, P = 0.022, P < 0.001, P < 0.001, P < 0.001, respectively). However, SUVmax of liver parenchyma was significantly lower in delayed images (P < 0.001). Conclusions There is a visually and statistically significant increase in the number and detectability of lesions seen in delayed images and dual time-point FDG PET/CT imaging seems useful in detecting primary and metastatic lesions in gastric cancer.en_US
