Table 3.

Median values (minimum and maximum given in brackets) for the ¹⁸F-FDG semi-quantitative and quantitative parameters before, after two cycles and after four cycles of ipilimumab in the no-CB group

Parameter	First PET/CT (baseline)	Second PET/CT (interim)	Third PET/CT (late)
SUVmean	6.0 (1.4–33.6)	7.6 (1.5–33.0)	6.6 (1.5–17.0)
SUVmax	8.2 (1.6–43.4)	12.1 (1.6–44.2)	8.6 (2.0-23.9)
K 1	0.15 (0.06–0.67)	0.16 (0.01–0.99)	0.16 (0.03–0.29)
k 3	0.15 (0.03–0.54)	0.12 (0.03–0.99)	0.14 (0.03–0.99)
Influx (Ki)	0.04 (0.004–0.13)	0.06 (0.002–0.15)	0.04 (0.01–0.10)
FD	1.23 (0.87–1.41)	1.27 (0.89–1.43)	1.24 (0.88–1.40)

The values are derived from the hottest, melanoma-indicative lesions, up to a maximum of five lesions total. The units of parameters K₁, k₃ and influx are 1/min

SUV_mean SUV_max and FD have no unit
