Correlation between rectal temperature and SUVpeak. The change in rectal temperature during [18F]FDG PET/CT image acquisition is plotted against SUVpeak for Set 2. Although the data show a significant correlation (p = 0.046) between the change in rectal temperature and SUVpeak during NE stimulation of BAT thermogenesis, the increase in rectal temperature, in general, cannot be taken as a surrogate measure of BAT thermogenesis
