Figure 5.
Relative lesional radiotracer uptake at the different time points represented as ‘waterfall’ plots of the percentage variation (%Δ1/2/3) of the tumour-to-background ratio (TBR). We only included patients who completed at least visit 1 and 3 scans within this analysis to avoid bias. The variations were evaluated as follows: %Δt1 = ((t2 − t1)/t1) × 100, n = 28 lesions; %Δt2 = ((t3 − t1)/t1) × 100, n = 48 lesions; %Δt3 = ((t3 − t2)/t2) × 100), n = 28 lesions. TBRBoneMet = SUVmaxBoneMet/SUVmeanBackgBone. TBRSoftTissueMet = SUVmaxSoftTissueMet/SUVmeanBackgMuscle (Backg: background). Soft-tissue metastases are identified with black-outlined bars (rest are bone metastases). Subject P02 is classified as partial responder based on PCWG3.
