Whole-body 18F-FDG PET/CT
From a Whole-body 18F-FDG PET/CT report. The text reads:
"Dicha lesión mide 23 x 36.6 x 56.6 mm en sus diámetros mayores, y presenta incremento focal del metabolismo glucolítico con SUVImáx de 6.34 (lesión 1)."
This does not appear to be a a misspelling of the English "SUVmax" (meaning the maximum standardized uptake value), though perhaps it is a variant of that term.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Maximum standardized uptake value (SUV(max)) was obtained for all patients. Metabolic tumor volume and total glycolytic activity were measured in patients with a discrete parotid lesion (n = 24). Nonparameteric Student t test (Mann-Whitney U test) was performed for between-group analysis.

Standard uptake value (SUV) max was calculated in the primary tumor.

Purpose: Although [18F] FDG-positron emission tomography (PET) provides vital information in diagnosing lung malignancies, the inherent uncertainties of standard uptake value (SUV) compromises its confidence. People have attempted to reduce this uncertainty by comparing the normal tissues, such as liver and spleen.
The use of standardized uptake values (SUVs) is now common place in clinical FDG-PET/CT oncology imaging, and has a specific role in assessing patient response to cancer therapy. Ideally, the use of SUVs removes variability introduced by differences in patient size and the amount of injected FDG. However, in practice there are several sources of bias and variance that are introduced in the measurement of FDG uptake in tumors and also in the conversion of the image count data to SUVs. The overall imaging process is reviewed and estimates of the magnitude of errors, where known, are given. Recommendations are provided for best practices in improving SUV accuracy.
