Popis: This study was aimed at investigating metabolic changes in breast cancer on dual-time-point 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging (DTPI) according to primary tumor uptake and determining whether this technique is affected by background parenchymal enhancement (BPE). A total of 189 patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer who underwent DTPI examination were retrospectively evaluated. DTPI was performed using a standard FDG/PET protocol followed by delayed image acquisition at 120 min after injection. Patients were divided into two groups according to primary tumor uptake as breast cancer with low maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) (
