Popis: Our aim in this study was to verify the usefulness of the standardized uptake value (SUV) normalized by individual CT-based lean body mass (LBMCT) in application of PET response criteria in solid tumors (PERCIST).We retrospectively investigated 14 patients (4 male and 10 female) with malignant lymphoma who were undergoing chemotherapy. (18)F-FDG PET/CT examinations were performed before and after chemotherapy. The LBMCT was calculated by estimation of fat weight from CT data (from skull base to pelvis). The mean ± standard deviation (SD) and the Bland-Altman plot were used for comparison among body weight, LBMCT, and LBM derived from a predictive equation (LBMPE). Indices for FDG uptake in the liver were: SUV, SUV based on LBMPE (SULPE), and SUV based on LBMCT (SULCT). Overall differences between the uptake values were analyzed by one-way ANOVA. If the ANOVA showed significance, differences between uptake values were investigated further by use of the Tukey-Kramer test. The mean values of body weight, LBMPE, and LBMCT were: 55.4 ± 14.9 (39.0-112.0), 43.0 ± 10.5 (31.3-75.2), and 35.3 ± 9.8 (23.4-75.8) kg, respectively. There was a wide dispersion between LBMPE and LBMCT (differences, 7.6 ± 3.6 kg; 95 % CI, 6.42-8.85). LBMPE was higher than LBMCT in all the cases except in Case 11. The mean uptake values significantly differed among SUV, SULPE, and SULCT (F = 68.3, p
