CONCLUSIONS: Thresholds of SUVmax and SUVratio identified a significant proportion of patients who did not develop adrenal metastasis. In oncology patients who demonstrate increased adrenal FDG uptake without a discrete lesion on FDG-PET/CT, quantitative uptake values may be useful in selecting those not at risk of developing adrenal metastatic disease.
