Linear mixed model with the square root of SHBG predicting log(lean body mass-adjusted FES SUV), with random intercept to account for patients with multiple scans. In the sensitivity analysis, patients with concurrent chemotherapy and/or sites of apparent ER loss without FES uptake above background are excluded
