Intrabone Transplant of Cord Blood Stem Cells Establishes a Local Engraftment Store: A Functional PET/FDG Study

<table>Correlation existing between maximal standardized FDG uptake values (SUV) within iliac crests and lumbar vertebrae. The tight correlation between injected sites and lumbar vertebrae metabolism confirmed a close parallelism between the degree of BM glucose consumption in these two different districts.</table>
