Variability of dynamic 18F-FDG-PET data in breast cancer xenografts.

CONCLUSIONS: SUVmean and SUVmedian show less variability than SUVmax. The pharmacokinetic tumour metrics again display much greater variability than the SUV-based metrics. However, it is generally not known which of these metrics that best represents cancer aggressiveness and their use may still depend on the research questions addressed.
