Prognostic value of baseline [18F]-FDG and Δ[18F]-FDG lung uptake. a Baseline SUVmean corrected for the lung density (SUVmean-corr) and change in SUVmean-corr three months after the initiation of the antifibrotic drug between patients having a progressive or a non-progressive disease after one year of follow-up. b Correlation between the decline in FVC (absolute value or using the slope of the overall evolution at one year obtained by linear regression using least-squares method) and baseline SUVmean-corr or change in SUVmean-corr three months after the initiation of the antifibrotic drug
