From: The metabolic parameters based on volume in PET/CT are associated with clinicopathological N stage of colorectal cancer and can predict prognosis

Relationship between metabolic parameters and lymph node metastasis. SUVmax: maximal standardized uptake value, MTV 3.5: SUVmax of 3.5 for metabolic tumor volume, MTV-TLR2: tumor-to-liver uptake ratio of 2 for metabolic tumor volume, TLG 40%: 40% of tumor SUVmax for total lesion glycolysis. The increase in glucose metabolic parameters with the progression of the N stage revealed that PET parameters (SUVmax, MTV, and TLG), especially TLR of 2 for MTV (MTV-TLR2), were significantly different between pathological N0 and other N stages
