Box‐Whisker plots of SUVmax, MTV and TLG in high and low IDH3a expression groups were shown. Comparisons of semi‐quantitative indexes between these two groups were made. Two‐tailed Student's t test was used for statistical analysis. (A) SUVmax of high IDH3a expression group is higher than that of low expression group; (B) MTV of high IDH3a expression group is higher than that of low expression group; (C) TLG of high IDH3a expression group is higher than that of low expression group. For each group, median levels of SUVmax, MTV and TLG and interquartile ranges are illustrated by box plot, and the whiskers show minimum and maximum value representing ranges. Outliers were shown as points. SUVmax, maximum standard uptake value; MTV, metabolic tumor volume; TLG, total lesion glycolysis
