Standardized uptake values for [18F] FDG in normal organ tissues: Comparison of whole-body PET/CT and PET/MRI

In conclusion, in oncologic patients examined with PET/CT and PET/MRI SUVmax and SUVmean values generally correlate well in normal organ tissues, except the lung, subcutaneous fat and the blood pool. SUVmax and SUVmean derived from PET/MRI can be used reliably in clinical routine.
