Up- and downstaging of the axilla with [18F]FDG-PET/CT in prone compared to supine position. Observers disagreed on up-/downstaging with prone FDG-PET/CT in 23 patients and agreed 1 patient, who was downstaged. Observers agreed on staging irrespective of scan position in 124 patients: 32 had more than four (stage cALN≥4) FDG-avid axillary lymph nodes and 92 had less than four (stage cALN<4) FDG-avid axillary nodes. Observers disagreed irrespective of scan position in 5 patients
