Hopkins Criteria Five Point Post Therapy Assessment Scoring System:
| Score |
FDG Uptake Pattern |
Response |
| 1 |
Uptake in lesion and nodes less than
IJV |
Complete metabolic response |
| 2 |
Focal uptake above IJV, but less than
liver |
Likely complete response |
| 3 |
Diffuse uptake at primary site or nodes
greater than IJV or liver |
Likely post XRT inflammation |
| 4 |
Focal uptake at primary or nodes above
liver |
Likely residual tumor |
| 5 |
Focal and intense uptake at primary or
in nodes |
Positive residual tumor |
