# Total Metabolic Tumor Volume
|
||||
|
||||
## Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
Total Metabolic Tumor Volume (TMTV) workflow mode enables quantitatively measurement of a tumor volume in a patient's body.
|
||||
This mode is accessible in any study that has a PT and CT image series as you can see below
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Note: If the study does not have a PT and CT image series, the TMTV workflow mode will not be available
|
||||
and will become grayed out.
|
||||
|
||||
## Layout
|
||||
The designed layout for the viewports follows a predefined hanging protocol which will place
|
||||
10 viewports containing CT, PT, Fusion and Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP) PT scenes.
|
||||
|
||||
The hanging protocol will match the CT and PT displaySets based on series description. In terms
|
||||
of PT displaySets, the hanging protocol will match the PT displaySet that has attenuated
|
||||
corrected PET image data.
|
||||
|
||||
As seen in the image below, the first row contains CT volume in 3 different views of Axial,
|
||||
Sagittal and Coronal. The second row contains PT volume in the same views as the first row.
|
||||
The last row contains the fusion volume and the viewport to the right is a MIP of the PT
|
||||
Volume in the Sagittal view.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Synchronization
|
||||
|
||||
The viewports in the 3 rows are synchronized both for the Camera and WindowLevel.
|
||||
It means that when you interact with the CT viewport (pan, zoom, scroll),
|
||||
the PT and Fusion viewports will be synchronized to the same view. In addition
|
||||
to camera synchronization, the window level of the CT viewport will be synchronized
|
||||
with the fusion viewport.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### MIP
|
||||
The tools that are activated on each viewport is unique to its data. For instance,
|
||||
the mouse scroll tool for PT, CT and Fusion viewports are scrolling through the image data
|
||||
(in different directions); however, the mouse scroll tool for the MIP viewport will
|
||||
rotate the camera to match the usecase for the MIP.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Panels
|
||||
There are two panels that are available in the TMTV workflow mode and we will
|
||||
discuss them in detail below.
|
||||
|
||||
### SUV Panel
|
||||
This panel shows the PT metadata derived from the matched PT displaySet. The user
|
||||
can edit/change the metadata if needed, and by reloading the data the new
|
||||
metadata will be applied to the PT volume.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## ROI Threshold Panel
|
||||
The ROI Threshold panel is a panel that allows the user to use the `RectangleROIStartEnd`
|
||||
tool from Cornerstone to define and edit a region of interest. Then, the user can
|
||||
apply a threshold to the pixels in the ROI and save the result as a segmentation volume.
|
||||
|
||||
By applying each threshold to the ROI, the Total Metabolic Tumor Volume (TMTV), and
|
||||
the SUV Peak values will get calculated for the labelmap segments and shown in the
|
||||
panel.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Export Report
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, the results can be saved in the CSV format. The RectangleROI annotations
|
||||
can also be extracted as a dicom RT Structure Set and saved as a DICOM file.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

||||
Below you can see a video tutorial on how to use the TMTV workflow mode.
