18F-FMC uptake vs. Cho/Cr ratio. A plot of mean sample-to-background (SBR_mean) against Cho/Cr ratio showed a moderate significant positive correlation between the two measures (r = 0.59, p < 0.001), and a strong significant positive correlation when considering WHO grade IV tumours alone (r = 0.9, p < 0.001). All data points with an SBR over 10 were from a single patient. Excluding that patient resulted in a weak significant positive correlation between 18F-FMC-uptake and Cho/Cr (r = 0.24, p < 0.001).
