| Image parameters | %FVC | %DLco | KL-6 | SP-D | CRP | LDH |
| SUVmax | NS | NS | 0.29 (0.014) | NS | 0.22 (0.043) | NS |
| SUVmean | −0.45 (<.0001) | −0.46 (0.0002) | 0.56 (<.0001) | 0.36 (0.0098) | NS | NS |
| SUVTF | NS | −0.29 (0.022) | 0.41 (0.0003) | 0.29 (0.040) | NS | 0.066 (0.040) |
| CTmean | −0.50 (<.0001) | −0.40 (0.0028) | 0.29 (0.019) | 0.40 (0.0060) | NS | NS |
NS = not significant; TF = tissue fraction.
Rho (ρ) values are demonstrated. P values are in parentheses.
