Two 3D lung lobe quantification software tools (Q. Lung: Xeleris 4.0, GE Healthcare and LLQ: Hermes Hybrid 3D Lung Lobar Quantification, Hermes Medical Solutions) were used to evaluate the numerical lobar ventilation/perfusion ratio (VQR) and lobar volume/perfusion ratio (VPR). A test of linearity and equivalence of the two 3D software tools was performed using Pearson, Spearman, quadratic weighted kappa and the mean squared deviation for VPR/VQR. An algorithm was developed that identified PE candidates using ROC analysis. The agreement between the PE findings of an experienced nuclear medicine expert and the calculated PE candidates was represented by the magnitude of the YOUDEN index (J) and the size of the area under the receiver operating curve (AUC).\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000Both 3D software tools showed good comparability. The YOUDEN index for QLUNG(VPR/VQR)/LLQ(VPR/VQR) was in the range from 0.2 to 0.5. The mean AUC averaged over all lung lobes for QLUNG(VPR) was 0.66, CI95%: ±14.0%, for QLUNG(VQR) 0.66, CI95%: ±13.3%, for LLQ(VPR) 0.64, CI95%: ±14.7% and for LLQ(VQR) 0.65, CI95%: ±13.1%.\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSION\u0000This study reveals that 3D software tools are feasible for numerical PE detection. The clinical decision can be supported by using a numerical algorithm based on ROC analysis.","PeriodicalId":94161,"journal":{"name":"Nuklearmedizin.

This study evaluates the role of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in NHL treated with CAR T-cell therapy concerning response assessment and prognosis.We evaluated 34 patients with NHL who received a CAR T-cell therapy between August 2019 and July 2022. All patients underwent a pre-therapeutic FDG-PET/CT (PET-0) 6 days prior and a post-therapeutic FDG-PET/CT (PET-1) 34 days after CAR T-cell therapy. Deauville score (DS) was used for evaluation of response to therapy and compared to a minimum follow-up of 5 months.19/34 (55.9%) patients achieved DS ≤ 3 on PET-1, the remaining 15 (44.1%) patients had DS > 3 on PET-1. 14/19 patients with DS ≤ 3 on PET-1 had no relapsed or refractory (r/r)-disease and were still alive at last follow-up. The other 5 patients had r/r-disease and 4 of these died. Except for two patients who had no r/r-disease, all other patients (13/15) with DS > 3 on PET-1 had r/r-disease and 12 of these subsequently died. Patients with DS ≤ 3 on PET-1 had significantly better progression free survival (PFS; HR: 5.7; p < 0.01) and overall survival (OS; HR: 5.0; p < 0.01) compared to patients with DS > 3 on PET-1. In addition, we demonstrated that patients with DS ≤ 4 on PET-0 tended to have longer PFS (HR: 3.6; p = 0.05).Early FDG-PET/CT using the established DS after CAR T-cell therapy is a powerful tool to evaluate response to therapy.","PeriodicalId":94161,"journal":{"name":"Nuklearmedizin.
