Table 6 Absolute mean differences in metabolic uptake for PET/MR relative to PET/CT across imaging timepoints. Positive values indicate higher SUV in PET/MR. Negative values indicate higher SUV in PET/CT

From: Diagnostic performance of prospective same-day 18F-FDG PET/MRI and 18F-FDG PET/CT in the staging and response assessment of lymphoma
