Optimal thresholds to divide patients into 'low' versus 'high' MTV groups depend on clinical characteristics and the measurement method. algorithms and published methods of MTV measurement using FDG PET. Method Pretreatment MTV was measured on 147 patients treated at Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital. Results There was strong correlation between MTV using the 4 methods, although derived thresholds were very different for the Agreement was measured between the in-house and commercial software (PETTRA 2.5 & Hermes 2.5), the three methods PFS-derived thresholds with similar separation between highand low-MTV groups for all methods (Fig. 5b).
