  		Fig. 1A —Comparison of standardized uptake values (SUVs) and patient survival. Scattergrams show comparison between maximum SUV (SUVmax) (A) and mean SUV (SUVmean) (B) of primary tumor versus patient survival. Linear regression analysis shows low correlation between SUV and survival (r = 0.36 for both). Black boxes indicate death, white boxes indicate survival.
