Thresholds in case of a higher SUVmax tumor. SUVmax, maximal standardized uptake value; SUV peak, peak standardized uptake value; SUV, mean standardized uptake value; MTV, metabolic tumor volume; TLG, total lesion glycolysis; TUR, tumor-to-liver uptake ratio; SUL, SUV normalized to lean body mass; VOI: volume of interest. VOIs in % of SUVmax were smaller than in other thresholds. For each threshold, the lower the value, the larger the VOI
