                                Figure 3.2: Relative change (%) in quantitative parameters after PVC (LR) as a function of lesion MATV (mL) for VT (A), K1 (B), BP (C), and SUV (D). TBR is not displayed since it was virtually identical to SUV. Table 3.4: Correlation (Spearman, with 95% confidence intervals) between kinetic parameter estimates and simplified metrics, with and without PVC.
