Figure 2

Transition line graph and box-and-whisker plot of aSUVmax at the 1st and 2nd SPECT imaging of each patient; patients who had a high aSUVmax of 15 or more in the 1st round showed a marked decrease in the 2nd round (patients: 2, 4, 6, 8, and 11), but patients who had a low aSUVmax of less than 6 in the 1st round showed little change in the 2nd round (patients: 12, 14, and 15). The overall aSUVmax was significantly reduced after anti-inflammatory therapy (p = 0.04).
