Quantitative Correlation at the Molecular Level of Tumor Response to Docetaxel by Multimodal Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging and [F]FDG/[F]FLT Positron Emission Tomog... by Valerie S. Honndorf, Holger Schmidt, Hans F. Wehrl, Stefan Wiehr, Walter Ehrlichmann, Leticia Quintanilla-Martinez, Hervé Barjat, Sally-Ann Ricketts, Bernd J. Pichler

“…The [ 18 F]FDG/ADC cluster analysis and the evaluation of peak histogram values revealed a significant treatment effect matching histology as opposed to [ 18 F]FLT/ADC. [ 18 F]FLT uptake and the Ki67 index were not in good agreement. Our voxel-based cluster analysis uncovered treatment effects not seen in the separate inspection of PET and MRI data and may be used as an independent analysis tool. [ 18 F]FLT/ADC cluster analysis could still point out the treatment effect; however, [ 18 F]FDG/ADC reflected the histology findings in higher agreement.…”
