Figure 1: Image shows use of fluorine 18 (18F)–fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT imaging process as assay method for computing and interpreting tumor metabolic activity as pipeline using either one or two or more scan sequences. Standardized uptake values (SUVs) are used to reduce variations caused by differences in patient biodistribution and amount of FDG used. Measure SUVx refers to one of several possible SUV measures such as SUVmax, SUVmean, or SUVpeak, where max, mean, and peak refer to value calculated
