Conclusions
We found that, through 18F-FDG PET/CT,
(SDL/LDL)*(SUVmaxBio/SUVmaxTon) can be used as a good quantitative index
to distinguish PTLD-negative and non-destructive PTLD cases. The
sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and accuracy were 93.6%, 94.7%,
97.8%, 85.7%, and 93.9%, respectively.
(SDL/LDL)*(SUVmaxBio/SUVmaxTon) can improve the diagnosis of
non-destructive PTLD after pLT in the future.
