  • * Percent differences in the distances “d” between the PET and CT centroids, on standard clinical and DIBH images, respectively, are presented. Negative sign reflects reduction in d in DIBH acquisition compared with clinical image.

  • Lesions' SUVmax measured on both clinical and DIBH PET images are reported together with percent difference (% diff).
