Standardized uptake values (SUV) measure a patient's response to nuclear medicine therapy. But what other markers of success are there, and do these markers and the interpretation of them vary depending on the disease being imaged? Sally Barrington, MD, works specifically on lymphoma and shares her expertise on what markers of success and criteria are critical to her in understanding patients' responses to treatment. Joining her, along with our host Ken Herrmann, MD, are Louise Emmett, MD, and Irene Buvat, PhD. The panel also discusses the role of AI tools in analyzing risk and response assessment in lymphoma.
