Note: SUV, standardized uptake value; max, maximum; PETMR, MR attenuation correction-based positron emission tomography; PETCT, PET images from PET/MRI that reconstructed from CT μ-map; PETCTSeg, PET images from PET/MRI that reconstructed from segmented CT μ-map; Rho, Pearson's correlation coefficient; RD, relative differences; P1 and P2 were statistical P values of RD1 and RD2, respectively; P3, statistical P values of paired t-test between RD1 and RD2.
