Table 2. Univariate regression analysis of pre-treatment FDG PET images fit to 3 month post-treatment FDG images for a linear model versus a linear mixture model.

Estimated Regression Coefficient and Hypothesis Test Regression Models
Single-fit Linear Mixed-fit Linear
CR NR
FDGpre βFDG, pop 0.22 ± 0.11 0.13 ± 0.08 0.30 ± 0.10
p for βFDG, pop = 0 0.07 0.16 0.02

R2 0.17 0.52

Means and standard errors of regression coefficients in the mixture model were calculated for the complete responding (CR) and non-responding (NR) voxel subpopulations. Bolded p values are considered significant. R2 for each model was determined by averaging individual patient z scores.
