Table 3 Relative SUVmax differences - TOF vs. non-TOF

From: The association of tumor-to-background ratios and SUVmax deviations related to point spread function and time-of-flight F18-FDG-PET/CT reconstruction in colorectal liver metastases

Difference	PSF + TOF vs. PSF		3D-OSEM + TOF vs. 3D-OSEM
Difference	Low TBR	High TBR	Low TBR	High TBR
	**	n.s.	**	n.s.
Median	10.4	1.8	8.6	−0.1
IQR	3.1 to 19.0	−0.8 to 5.5	3.3 to 14.8	−6.0 to 2.4
Range	1.0 to 27.2	−16.7 to 27.9	−5.9 to 17.5	−13.9 to 24.0

Median, IQR, and range of relative SUVmax differences between TOF and non-TOF algorithms displayed separately for low (<4.8) and high (>4.8) TBR. Wilcoxon test: n.s., not significant; **P < 0.01.
