To investigate the relationships between tumor heterogeneity, assessed by texture analysis of [F-18]fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) images, metabolic parameters, and pathologic staging in patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). A retrospective analysis of 38 patients with histologically confirmed NSCLC who underwent staging FDG-PET/computed tomography was performed. Tumor images were segmented using a standardized uptake value (SUV) cutoff of 2.5. Five textural features, related to the heterogeneity of gray-level distribution, were computed (energy, entropy, contrast, homogeneity, and correlation). Additionally, metabolic parameters such as SUVmax, SUVmean, metabolic tumor volume (MTV), and total lesion glycolysis (TLG), as well as pathologic staging, histologic subtype, and tumor diameter, were obtained. Finally, a correlation analysis was carried out. Of 38 tumors, 63.2% were epidermoid and 36.8% were adenocarcinomas. The mean 6 standard deviation values of MTV and TLG were 30.47 +/- 25.17 mL and 197.81 +/- 251.11 g, respectively. There was a positive relationship of all metabolic parameters (SUVmax, SUVmean, MTV, and TLG) with entropy, correlation, and homogeneity and a negative relationship with energy and contrast. The T component of the pathologic TNM staging (pT) was similarly correlated with these textural parameters. Textural features associated with tumor heterogeneity were shown to be related to global metabolic parameters and pathologic staging.
