Dot plots of SUVmax, T/L ratio, T/B ratio, and T/M ratio. X axis shows the SUVmax of FAMT and the Y axis shows the SUVmax of FDG. No significant correlations of total lesions in a SUVmax, b T/L ratio, and c T/B ratio were observed (r = 0.167, p = 0.207; r = 0.208, p = 0.114; r = 0.043, p = 0.744, respectively). T/L ratio differed according to histological feature. SUV standard uptake value, FDG 2-[18F]-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose, FAMT L-3-[18F] fluoro-alpha-methyl tyrosine, T/L tumor-to-liver parenchymal, T/B tumor-to-blood pool, SCC squamous cell carcinoma, AC adenocarcinoma, NET neuroendocrine tumor and pheochromocytoma, CAR carcinoid tumor
