To evaluate the effect of patient-related factors such as age, gender, body mass index (BMI), blood glucose (BG), diabetes, serum creatinine and injected dose on 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]FDG) uptake of tumor and normal organs, as well impact of [18F]FDG uptake of tumor on normal organs, in clinical positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT).
