Purpose The aim of this study was to assess test-retest variability of various quantitative measures to characterize tracer uptake and/or tracer uptake heterogeneity. Procedures Two baseline whole-body 2-deoxy-2-[ 18 F]fluoro- d -glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (CT) scans we...
