Defining the optimal segmentation method for measuring somatostatin receptor expressing tumor volume on 68 Ga-DOTATATE positron emission tomography/computed tomography to predict prognosis in patients with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.
Objective: We aimed to compare different segmentation methods used to calculate prognostically valuable volumetric parameters, somatostatin receptor expressing tumor volume (SRETV), and total lesion somatostatin receptor expression (TLSRE), measured by 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT and to find the optimal segmentation method to predict prognosis.
Patients and methods: Images of 34 patients diagnosed with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (GEPNET) who underwent 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT imaging were reanalyzed. Four different threshold-based methods (fixed relative threshold method, normal liver background threshold method, fixed absolute standardized uptake value (SUV) threshold method, and adaptive threshold method) were used to calculate SRETV and TLSRE values. SRETV of all lesions of a patient was summarized as whole body SRETV (WB-SRETV) and TLSRE of all lesions of a patient was computed as whole body TLSRE (WB-TLSRE).
Results: WB-SRETVs calculated with all segmentation methods were statistically significantly associated with progression-free survival except WB-SRETV at which was calculated using adaptive threshold method. The fixed relative threshold methods calculated by using 45% (WB-SRETV 45% ) and 60% (WB-SRETV 60% ) of the SUV value as threshold respectively, were found to have statistically significant highest prognostic value (C-index = 0.704, CI = 0.622-0.786, P = 0.007). Among WB-TLSRE parameters, WB-TLSRE 35% , WB-TLSRE 40% , and WB-TLSRE 50% had the highest prognostic value (C-index = 0.689, CI = 0.604-0.774, P = 0.008).
Conclusion: The fixed relative threshold method was found to be the most effective and easily applicable method to measure SRETV on pretreatment 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT to predict prognosis in GEPNET patients. WB-SRETV 45% (cutoff value of 11.8 cm 3 ) and WB-SRETV 60% (cutoff value of 6.3 cm 3 ) were found to be the strongest predictors of prognosis in GEPNET patients.
期刊介绍：
Nuclear Medicine Communications, the official journal of the British Nuclear Medicine Society, is a rapid communications journal covering nuclear medicine and molecular imaging with radionuclides, and the basic supporting sciences. As well as clinical research and commentary, manuscripts describing research on preclinical and basic sciences (radiochemistry, radiopharmacy, radiobiology, radiopharmacology, medical physics, computing and engineering, and technical and nursing professions involved in delivering nuclear medicine services) are welcomed, as the journal is intended to be of interest internationally to all members of the many medical and non-medical disciplines involved in nuclear medicine. In addition to papers reporting original studies, frankly written editorials and topical reviews are a regular feature of the journal.
