Abstract
Conclusions: The TV variability obtained with the best methods was similar to the one reported for TV in previous [F-18] FDG and [F-18] FLT studies and to the one of SUVMAX/SUVMEAN on the authors' [C-11] choline dataset. The good reproducibility of [C-11] choline TV warrants further studies to test whether TV could predict early response to treatment and survival, as for [F-18] FDG, to complement/substitute the use of SUVMAX and SUVMEAN.
