SUMMARY AT A GLANCE: The retention index of standardized uptake value (RI-SUV), as calculated from dual time point (18) F-FDG PET delayed imaging, provided better diagnostic accuracy for persistent lung involvement in sarcoidosis at one year compared with SUV or (67) Ga uptake. This technique may be a useful index of persistent inflammation in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis. ABSTRACT: Background and objective: The value of dual time point (18) F-FDG PET was investigated to predict the prognosis of patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis. Methods: Twenty-one patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis underwent (18) F-FDG PET examinations at two time points: an early scan at 60 min and a delayed scan at 180 min after injection of (18) F-FDG. Standardized uptake values (SUVs) at the two time points and the retention index (RI-SUV) calculated from these were evaluated. To evaluate disease progression, all patients underwent chest CT one year after (18) F-FDG PET. Using these results, the accuracy of (18) F-FDG PET parameters and (67) Ga uptake for predicting disease persistence were compared, and the correlations between those parameters and serum markers were assessed. Results: RI-SUV was significantly higher in patients with increased or unchanged pulmonary lesions at follow-up CT (persistent group; 21.3 ± 9.6%) than in patients with improved pulmonary lesions (improved group; -9.2 ± 28.6%, P = 0.0075). The diagnostic accuracy of RI-SUV in the persistent group was significantly greater than that of early SUV or (67) Ga uptake, and serum soluble IL-2 receptor showed a significant correlation with RI-SUV. Conclusions: RI-SUV showed better diagnostic accuracy compared with early SUV or (67) Ga uptake, in patients with persistent lung involvement at one year. It may be a useful measure of persistent inflammation in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis. |
