Distribution of Δ _SUVmax , Δ _SUVpeak , Δ _SUVref and Δ _{SUVref. peak} for the clinical datasets. Δ _SUVmax (solid line), Δ _SUVpeak (dash-dot line), Δ _SUVref (dashed line) and Δ _SUVref.peak (dotted line). The mean (and SD) for SUV_max was -17.8% (17.4), for SUV_peak -7.19% (11.56), for SUV_ref -1.98% (9.42) and for SUV_ref,peak -0.84% (8.61). The difference between each distribution is significant (P < 0.001 with paired two-tailed Student's t test).
