Table 5 Discordant response in SUVmax and TLuG in four patients

From: Quantification of pulmonary disease activity in sarcoidosis measured with ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT: SUVmax versus total lung glycolysis

	SUVmax			TLuG			ΔLung function

Pt A	11.2	14.7	+ 32.4	6606	5826	− 11.8	− 0.7	− 5.1	+ 9.8
Pt C	2.1	1.6	− 23.4	1827	2178	+ 19.2	− 4.1	− 5.3	0.0
Pt D	6.2	6.8	+ 9.7	4616	3596	− 22.1	− 10.7	− 8.1	− 4.8
Pt E	0.6	0.9	+ 50	2999	2555	− 16.8	− 16.7	− 2.2	+ 4.1

Δ change before and after infliximab therapy, FVC forced vital capacity, FEV1 forced expiratory volume in 1 s, DLCOc diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide corrected for haemoglobin, SUVmax maximum standardized uptake value, TLuG total lung glycolysis
