Abstract:AimsTo assess the impact of various patient characteristics on the dynamics of liver glucose metabolism using automated multiparametric imaging with whole‐body dynamic 18F‐fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)‐positron emission tomography (PET).Materials and MethodsWe retrospectively enrolled 540 patients who underwent whole‐body dynamic FDG‐PET. Three quantitative indices representing hepatic glucose metabolism [mean standardized uptake value normalized by lean body mass (SULmean), metabolic glucose rate (kinetic index) a… Show more
