Automated routing of DICOM CT, MR, and CR images: solving the pitfalls of vendor-specific DICOM implementations.

abstract：:We investigated the association between the textural features obtained from 18F-FDG images, metabolic parameters (SUVmax, SUVmean, MTV, TLG), and tumor histopathological characteristics (stage and Ki-67 proliferation index) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The FDG-PET images of 67 patients with NSCLC were evalua...
