Table 3 Maximal individual SUV fluctuations (Δmax) compared to the reference SUV at 10 min

From: For avid glucose tumors, the SUV peak is the most reliable parameter for [18F]FDG-PET/CT quantification, regardless of acquisition time

 

Δmax R1.5 vs R10 ( %)

Δmax R2 vs R10 ( %)

Δmax R2.5 vs R10 ( %)

Δmax R3 vs R10 ( %)

Δmax R5 vs R10 ( %)

  1. Δmax Rt-R10 (%) is the maximal individual fluctuation between SUV value at Rt and SUV value at R10. Δmax mean value is the mean Δmax from “R1.5 vs R10” to “R5 vs R10”
