Abstract
Background and purpose: [(18)F]HX4 is a promising hypoxia PET-tracer. Uptake, spatio-temporal stability and optimal acquisition parameters for [(18)F]HX4 PET imaging were evaluated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.
Materials and methods: [(18)F]HX4 PET/CT images of 15 NSCLC patients were acquired 2h and 4h after injection (p.i.). Maximum standardized-uptake-value (SUV(max)), tumor-to-blood-ratio (TBR(max)), hypoxic fraction (HF) and contrast-to-noise-ratio (CNR) were determined for all lesions. To evaluate spatio-temporal stability, DICE-similarity and Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated. Optimal acquisition-duration was assessed by comparing 30, 20, 10 and 5 min acquisitions.
Results: Considerable uptake (TBR >1.4) was observed in 18/25 target lesions. TBR(max) increased significantly from 2 h (1.6 ± 0.3) to 4 h p.i. (2.0 ± 0.6). Uptake patterns at 2 h and 4 h p.i. showed a strong correlation (R=0.77 ± 0.10) with a DICE similarity coefficient of 0.69 ± 0.08 for the 30% highest uptake volume. Reducing acquisition-time resulted in significant changes in SUV(max) and CNR. TBR(max) and HF were only affected for scan-times of 5 min.
Conclusions: The majority of NSCLC lesions showed considerable [(18)F]HX4 uptake. The heterogeneous uptake pattern was stable between 2 h and 4 h p.i. [(18)F]HX4 PET imaging at 4 h p.i. is superior to 2 h p.i. to reach highest contrast. Acquisition time may be reduced to 10 min without significant effects on TBR(max) and HF.
