From: Early assessment of response to induction therapy in acute myeloid leukemia using 18F-FLT PET/CT
18F-FLT PET maximum intensity projection images after induction therapy in 10 patients with AML. Five PET cases (a) showed intensely increased BM uptake throughout the central skeleton and bilateral humeri and femurs and were interpreted as PET-positive. The other 5 PET cases (b) were interpreted as PET-negative. Of these, 2 (patients 1 and 3) had invisible BM uptake throughout the central skeleton and bilateral humeri and femurs. Three cases (patients 2, 5, and 10) demonstrated perceptible BM uptake along the central skeleton; however, the intensity of 18F-FLT uptake was markedly lower than that of the liver and no significant uptake was seen along bilateral humeri and femurs
