The relationships of Femoral-SUV, Vertebral-SUV, and BM-CT number with blood parameters. A moderate correlation was observed between age and Vertebral-SUV (r = -0.40), while weak correlations were observed between age and Femoral-SUV (r = -0.32) and between age and BM-CT number (r = -0.27). The WBC count was weakly correlated with Femoral-SUV (r = 0.25), and Hgb level was weakly correlated both with Femoral-SUV (r = -0.21) and Vertebral-SUV (r = -0.21). CRP level was moderately correlated with Vertebral-SUV (r = 0.53) and Femoral-SUV (r = 0.50).
