¹⁸F-FDG Uptake Patterns and SUVmean Measurements in 107 Vascular Grafts

Graft type	Dacron	Gore-Tex	Native vein grafts
No. of grafts	67	33	7
Homogeneous uptake pattern	36	28	3
Inhomogeneous uptake pattern	29	2	0
No ¹⁸F-FDG uptake	2	3	4
Focal uptake pattern	0	0	0
Average SUV-G^*	2.35	1.09	1.07
Average SUV-G/SUV-M^†	1.72	0.91	0.75

↵* Average SUV-G (SUVmean measured in grafts).
↵† Average SUV-G/SUV-M generated by ratio of SUVmean in each graft to SUVmean measured in patient’s mediastinal area.
