AUC = area under the curve; REF = brain reference region; ROC = receiver-operator curve; SUVR = standard uptake value ratio; SoT = standard of truth; VOI = volume of interest.
Note: SUVR cut-off criterion is the SUVR value that maximizes the value of the Youden index. The SUVR cut-off value is the SUVR value above which lies a reading of abnormal and below or equal to which is a reading of normal.
