Department of Radiology the Affiliated Hospital of Luzhou Medical College Luzhou Sichuan Province P. R. China Abstract Objective To study the relationship between ADC of diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging and SUV of 18 F-FDG PET /CT metabolic imaging in lung carcinoma. Methods The data of diffusion weighted imaging DWI and PET /CT were collected in 26 patients with lung carcinoma. The ADCmin ADCmean SUVmax and SUVmean of tumor were respectively measured on corresponding DWI and PET /CT and the radc ADCmin / ADCmean and rsuv SUVmax / SUVmean were calculated. The relationship between ADCmin and SUVmax ADCmean and SUVmean radc and rsuv were analyzed. Results The ADCmin ADCmean and radc were ± mm 2 /s ± mm 2 /s and ± respectively. The SUVmax SUVmean and rsuv were ± ± 1. 8 and ± respectively. There was no significant relationship either between ADCmin and SUVmax P = > or between ADCmean and SUVmean P = > The radc was negative correlated with the rsuv P = < and the Correlation coefficient was Conclusion There is negative relationship between radc of DWI and rsuv of 18 F-FDG PET /CT so it is possible that DWI and FDG PET /CT can play a complementary role in diagnosis of lung carcinoma.
