| Abstract |
F-FDG PET/CT imaging is widely utilized in the clinical evaluation of patients with suspected or documented lymphoma. The aim was to describe our cumulative experience with a multimodal (18)F-FDG-directed lymph node surgical excisional biopsy approach in patients with suspected lymphoma. Thirteen patients (mean age 51 (±16;22-76) years), with suspected new or suspected recurrent lymphoma suggested by (18)F-FDG-avid lesions seen on prior diagnostic whole-body PET/CT imaging, were injected IV with (18)F-FDG prior to undergoing same-day diagnostic lymph node surgical excisional biopsy in the operating room. Various (18)F-FDG detection strategies were used on the day of surgery, including, (1) same-day pre-resection patient PET/CT; (2) intraoperative gamma probe assessment; (3) clinical scanner specimen PET/CT imaging of whole surgically excised tissue specimens; (4) specimen gamma well counts; and/or (5) same-day post-resection patient PET/CT. Same-day (18)F-FDG injection dose was 14.8 (±2.4;12.5-20.6) millicuries or 548 (±89;463-762) megabecquerels. Sites of (18)F-FDG-avid lesions were 4 inguinal, 3 cervical, 3 abdominal/retroperitoneal, 2 axillary, and 1 gluteal region subcutaneous tissue. Same-day pre-resection patient PET/CT was performed on 6 patients. Intraoperative gamma probe assessment was performed on 13 patients. Clinical scanner PET/CT imaging of whole surgically excised tissue specimens was performed in 10 cases. Specimen gamma well counts were performed in 6 cases. Same-day post-resection patient PET/CT imaging was performed on 8 patients. Time from (18)F-FDG injection to same-day pre-resection patient PET/CT, intraoperative gamma probe assessment, and same-day post-resection patient PET/CT were 76 (±8;64-84), 240 (±63;168-304), and 487 (±104;331-599) minutes, respectively. Time from (18)F-FDG injection to clinical scanner PET/CT of whole surgically excised tissue specimens was 363 (±60;272-446) minutes. Time from (18)F-FDG injection to specimen gamma well counts was 591 (±96;420-689) minutes. Intraoperative gamma probe assessment successfully identified (18)F-FDG-avid lesions in 12/13 patients. Histopathologic evaluation confirmed lymphoma in 12/13 patients and benign disease in 1/13 patients. A multimodal approach to (18)F-FDG-directed lymph node surgical excisional biopsy for suspected lymphoma is technically feasible for guiding appropriate diagnostic tissue sampling of lymph nodes seen as (18)F-FDG-avid lesions on diagnostic (18)F-FDG PET/CT imaging. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. 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 09 May 2015.
All research outputs
#17,756,606
of 22,803,211 outputs
Outputs from BMC Cancer
#4,958
of 8,297 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#179,872
of 264,548 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Cancer
#142
of 238 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,803,211 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 8,297 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.3. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
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 264,548 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 238 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
