Primary Testicular Serous Papillary Carcinoma With Extensive Calcification on CT and FDG PET/CT.

abstract：PURPOSE:Standardized added metabolic (SAM) activity is a functional objective measurement of the total tumoral metabolic activity that avoids partial volume effect and thresholding, which limit conventional PET parameters. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of SAM in predicting survival in unresectabl...
