Detection of Gastroesophageal Reflux Esophagitis Using 2-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose Positron Emission Tomography

Figure 1

Distribution of geometric means of FDG uptake (SUVmax) and standard deviation according to the grades of severity of esophagitis. One-way ANOVA and post-hoc comparison with Bonferroni correction compared mean values of ln SUVmax (log-transformation SUVmax) among the grades of esophagitis severity.
