FDG uptake is higher in LCC6^HER-2 tumours.

(A) PET images of in situ FDG accumulation in LCC6^Vector and LCC6^HER-2 tumours; the tumour is circled in yellow and the intensity of green areas in the tumour reflects the activity of phosphorylated FDG trapped in cells. In the color scale used, purple is low activity, red is high activity. (B) Total accumulation of FDG present in regions of interest (viable tissue only) drawn on PET images of LCC6^Vector (□) and LCC6^HER-2 (■) tumours (mean ± SD; p = 0.025, n = 5). Significant differences (p < 0.05) are indicated by the asterisk (*).
