Influence of homogenization and heterogenization on¹⁸F-FDG organ uptake variability

Variability (COV)	Homogenized parameters	Heterogenized parameters
Inter‐group	32 ± 2%	28 ± 2%*
Intra‐group	31 ± 1%	35 ± 1%**

*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. Inter- and intra-group variability of ¹⁸F-FDG uptake for all organs measured (mean of COVs ± SEM of homogenized groups vs. heterogenized groups, in percent).
