Correlation (Left column) and Bland-Altman (Right column). Dashed lines in Bland-Altman plots represent Limits of Agreement (LoA). A two-sided test was applied to all tests of statistical significance. TLG (A) Spearman’s r > 0.99, P < 0.0001, and (B) Bias = 10.7, 95% LoA: −49.9, 71.21; SUVmax (C) Spearman’s r = 0.98, P < 0.0001, and (D) Bias = −0.12, 95% LoA: −1.17, 0.93; TMV in cm3 (E) Spearman’s r = 0.99, P < 0.0001), and (F) Bias = 5.80, 95% LoA: −26.4, 38.0; Number of PET-CT avid lesions (G) Spearman’s r = 0.72, P = 0.0008, and (H) Bias = −1.67, 95% LoA: −10.61, 7.3. Single outlier of disagreement in Bland-Altman plots of TMV (3D) and TLG (3 F) corresponds to the highest readings of TMV and TLG by both readers (means of 850.8 cm3 and 3436.1 respectively).
