Scatter dot plots for (A) mean tumor SUV at baseline (WB 0), WB 1 (0 h), WB 2 (4 h) and WB 3 (7 h) and (B) normalized SUV, whereby the tumor SUV at WB 1, 2 and 3 is normalized against tumor SUV at WB 0 (SUV ratio). The solid line represents median and interquartile range and the dotted line (B) normalized SUV value of 1. Significant decrease (P < 0.05) was found in tumor SUV between WB 0 and WB 1, however, not between WB 0 and WB2 and WB 0 and WB 3 (P > 0.05). Significant subsequent increase was found in normalized SUV between all three WB examinations (WB 1, 2 and 3) (B). Thus, the normalized SUV returned to baseline levels at 4 and 7 h
