Volumetric histograms-based analysis of apparent diffusion coefficients and standard uptake values for the assessment of pediatric sarcoma at staging: preliminary results of a PET/MRI study.

Our preliminary results demonstrate that, using volumetric histograms, simultaneously collected SUVs and ADCs are dependent biomarkers in pediatric FDG-avid sarcomas. Further studies, on a larger population, are necessary to confirm this evidence and assess its clinical implications.
