  • SUV1 and SUV2 are SUV, corrected by body weight, as calculated from last 5-min frame of 30-min dynamic PET acquisition and from ∼100-min PET acquisition, respectively. SUV3 is not reported because only 2 patients had ∼190-min postinjection acquisitions on both first and second 18F-FGln dynamic PET. Data are mean ± SD, followed by range in parentheses.

  • vB = pharmacokinetic model with blood fraction component.
