Key result
A combined assessment of metabolic parameters and texture features from 18F-FDG PET/CT scans identified causes of abnormal cardiac uptake with an AUC of 0.809, 77.3% sensitivity, and 71.6% specificity.
Why the study?
Does cardiac assessment using metabolic parameters and texture features from oncologic 18F-FDG PET/CT provide diagnostic value for underlying heart conditions in pre-treatment tumor patients?

Metabolic parameters and texture features from routine oncologic 18F-FDG PET/CT scans can provide valuable diagnostic insights into underlying cardiac conditions.
Lin et al. (2026) conducted an observational in Pre-treatment tumor (n=2,159). Combined assessment of metabolic parameters and texture features from 18F-FDG PET/CT was evaluated on Diagnostic performance for identifying causes of abnormal cardiac uptake (AUC 0.809, 95% CI 0.732-0.886, p=< 0.05). A combined assessment of metabolic parameters and texture features from 18F-FDG PET/CT scans identified causes of abnormal cardiac uptake with an AUC of 0.809, 77.3% sensitivity, and 71.6% specificity.
