Test–retest repeatability and interobserver variation of healthy tissue metabolism using 18F-FDG PET/CT of the thorax among lung cancer patients

Conclusion HT metabolism is stable in a test–retest scenario and has high interobserver agreement. SUVmean was the most stable metric in organs with low FDG uptake and SUVpeak in HTs with moderate uptake. Test–retest measurements in LV were highly variable irrespective of the SUV parameters used for measurements.
