  1. Median values with interquartile range [Q1, Q3], n = 14 subjects, 18 lesions (median of k2 and k3 from 14 lesions). p values assessed by Wilcoxon test (the most avid lesion per subject selected) comparing lesion with prostate (a) and muscle (b). Ki is the net influx rate calculated from rate constants K1k3/(k2 + k3) or from the slope of the graphical Patlak analysis
