  • SUVBWavg = mean SUV corrected for body weight; SUVBWmax = maximum SUV corrected for body weight; SUVBW+Gavg = mean SUV corrected for body weight and blood glucose level; SUVBW+Gmax = maximum SUV corrected for body weight and blood glucose level; SUVBSAavg = mean SUV corrected for BSA; SUVBSAmax = maximum SUV corrected for BSA; SUVBSA+Gavg = mean SUV corrected for BSA and blood glucose level; SUVBSA+Gmax = maximum SUV corrected for BSA and blood glucose level; SUVLBMavg = mean SUV corrected for LBM; SUVLBMmax = maximum SUV corrected for LBM; SUVLBM+Gavg = mean SUV corrected for LBM and blood glucose level; SUVLBM+Gmax = maximum SUV corrected for LBM and blood glucose level.

    ICC represents the degree of agreement between measures obtained in the 2 studies A and B, whereas CV assesses the intraindividual variability.
