Joint-SUVmean was measured at the ROIs indicated by the green boxes, which included the minimal area between the epiphyseal plates of the femur and tibia in the trans-axial, coronal, and sagittal planes. The blue rectangles indicate the points of the highest SUV of intra-articular space, the ROIs for intra-articular SUVmax are precisely delineated by crooked lines within the green box for joint-SUVmean. The point of intra-articular SUVmax was confirmed in trans-axial, coronal, and sagittal slices (A). Coronal-reconstruction CT images were arranged in the anterior-posterior view of knees for K/L grading (B).
