Lumbar-aortic lymph node involvement in a 7-year-old child with a pelvic alveolar RMS.
Metabolic tumour volume represents all the voxels within the initial volume of interest with SUV values equal to or above an automatic threshold of 40% of SUVmax. A) CT scan: the volume is hardly measurable, mainly owing to the presence of extensive necrosis. B) Fused PET-CT with metabolic tumour volume, SUVmax and SUVpeak.
