ΣSUVmax variations between the beginning and end of treatment and during follow-up post-treatment, in patients considered cured
To measure FDG uptake and evolution, the ΣSUVmax will be used. SUV ("Standard Uptake Value") is defined as tissue concentration of FDG / administered FDG dose / patient weight. ΣSUVmax is the sum of the maximum SUV measured in every TB foci. ΣSUVmax variations between the beginning and the end of treatment, and 6 months later in cases of persistent uptake at the end of treatment will be studied in patients considered cured
6 to 18 months
