Dr. Good afternoon. I am a question. How long should a patient with kidney failure wait to undergo dialysis after the PET CT. Thanks.

I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't know the exact time. That's something the nephrologist should decide.

Hello doctor, Could you tell me the normal values of suv max. what for inflamation, what for infections and malignacy. thanks

@dr.paulinemoyaert 5 ай бұрын

Hi! Generally speaking, normal SUV max values are usually in the range of 2 to 3 for most tissues. The SUV scale is relative, and what is considered "high" may vary among individuals and institutions. Typically, SUV values greater than 3 are often considered elevated (and can indicate inflammation/infection or a malignancy). Hope this helps :-)
