Image: Comparison of SUVmax between disease-free and recurrence groups of IDC patients. (A) SUVmax of metastatic axillary LN (nSUVmax) was significantly higher in patients with disease recurrence than in patients who were disease-free (P < 0.001). Mean nodal SUVmax (1.9 in disease-free group and 5.2 in recurrence group) are indicated with orange boxes. (B) Primary-tumor SUVmax (pSUVmax) was significantly higher in patients with disease recurrence than in patients who were disease- free ( P= 0.0128). Mean primary-tumor SUVmax (5.5 in disease-free group and 8.9 in recurrence group) is indicated with orange boxes. Error bars represent SD. (Photo courtesy of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine).
