There are multiple definitions:

  1. standardized uptake value(English)

    • a dimensionless ratio used historically by nuclear medicine professionals to distinguish between “normal” and “abnormal” levels of uptake. It is defined as the ratio of activity per unit volume of a region of interest (ROI) to the activity per unit whole body volume and is considered to be a semi-quantitative parameter. It was designed to be a simplistic method to quantify uptake as opposed to true quantification through compartmental and kinetic modeling. An SUV of 2.5 or higher is generally considered to be indicative of malignant tissue
