| Abstract |
(18)F-FDG PET/CT could satisfactorily show pancreatic and extra-pancreatic lesions in AIP, which can be mistaken for pancreatic cancer (PC). This study aimed to identify (18)F-FDG PET/CT findings that might differentiate AIP from PC. FDG-PET/CT findings of 26 AIP and 40 PC patients were reviewed. Pancreatic and extra-pancreatic lesions related findings, including maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax) and patterns of FDG uptake, were identified and compared. All 26 patients with AIP had increased pancreatic FDG uptake. Focal abnormal pancreatic FDG activities were found in 38/40 (95.00%) PC patients, while longitudinal were found in 18/26 (69.23%) AIP patients. SUVmax was significantly different between AIP and PC, both in early and delayed PET/CT scans (p < 0.05). AUCs were 0.700 (early SUVmax), 0.687 (delayed SUVmax), 0.683 (early lesions/liver SUVmax), and 0.715 (delayed lesion/liver SUVmax). Bile duct related abnormalities were found in 12/26 (46.15%) AIP and 10/40 (25.00%) PC patients, respectively. Incidentally, salivary and prostate gland SUVmax in AIP patients were higher compared with those of PC patients (p < 0.05). In males,an inverted "V" shaped high FDG uptake in the prostate was more frequent in AIP than PC patients (56.00%, 14/25 vs. 5.71%, 2/35). Increased FDG activity in extra-pancreatic bile duct was present in 4/26 of AIP patients, while was observed in none of the PC patients. Only in AIP patients, both diffuse pancreatic FDG accumulation and increased inverted "V" shaped FDG uptake in the prostate could be found simultaneously. (18)F-FDG PET/CT findings might help differentiate AIP from PC. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 04 July 2018.
All research outputs
#14,957,541
of 23,006,268 outputs
Outputs from BMC Cancer
#3,713
of 8,358 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#193,824
of 327,882 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Cancer
#53
of 110 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,006,268 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 8,358 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 327,882 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 110 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its contemporaries.
