A) Standard Uptake Value maximum (SUVm) correlates with %MIB1 Staining (cell proliferation) and tumor size. Correlation analysis of SUVm with the cell proliferation marker MIB1. B) Correlation analysis of SUVm with tumor diameter. Statistics are calculated by Spearman correlation co-efficient. *p<0.05. C) High Standard Uptake Value Maximum (SUVm) is a predictor of Lactate Levels Relative to Phosphoglycerate (3PG). The lactate/3pg ratio is expressed as fractional enrichment of lactate/fractional enrichment of 3PG. Values above 1 indicate lactate uptake. SUVm positively correlates with the lactate/3PG ratio. Statistics are calculated by Spearman correlation co-efficient. ** p<0.01.
