Explicit SUV images can be calculated with the Calculate SUV Image entry of the external tools. It shows a dialog window with information related to the administration of the tracer dose explained above.
The SUV selection determines the SUV type to be calculated. The Ok button starts the calculation. A new image series with changed units ([g/ml], [cm2/ml] or [%ID/ml]) is created if the Replace box is unchecked, otherwise the original series is overwritten.
Note: For regional statistics the explicit SUV image calculation is not necessary. The statistics output can be switched to SUV units, provided that all required information is available.
