Table 3 Standard uptake values (SUVmax, SUVmean, partial volume corrected SUVmean (cSUVmean) and MTV of malignant lesions at 1h and 3h (mean ± SD, min and max), and the change over time (∆SUV with 95% CI) by patient recurrence status. ∆SUV% and ∆MTV% were calculated by using mean values of 1h and 3h groups. P-values refer to the hypothesis test that the mean difference of the paired observations at 1h and 3h is equal to 0
