  1. NMI: nuclear medicine imaging; CT: computed tomography; MRI: magnetic resonance imaging; [99mTc]Tc-Meb: 99mTc-labeled mebrofenin; [99mTc]Tc-GSA: 99mTc-labeled galactosyl human serum albumin; [18F]FDG: [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose; and [11C]C-Met: L-[methyl-11C]-methionine
  2. aIncluding 88 patients from a prior study from Chapelle et al. [18]
  3. bBoth major and minor surgery but analyzed separately in the paper
  4. cBased on the description in the paper, it is somewhat uncertain, whether the volumetric CT parameter was determined pre- or perioperatively. Here, we have assumed that the volumetric parameter was estimated with CT preoperatively
