Abstract
This review is intended to discuss ways in which global and regional organ function may be assessed by using modern tomographic imaging methods. In addition, we discuss using 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET to monitor treatment response in various tumors as well as quantification of tumor burden in the entire body. We have selected FDG as a model that can also be adopted for other PET radiotracers. The merits of advanced quantitative measures for disease activity assessment in cancer and other disorders will also be addressed.
