We evaluated the reproducibility calculating volume-based FDG-PET/CT parameters, i.e., metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG), in soft tissue tumors. Fifty-three cases with soft tissue tumors were analyzed retrospectively. The conditions determining the lower limit of MTV were fixed value SUV 2.5 or 30% of SUVmax. To investigate the agreement of the measurements by two radiologists, %difference, the correlation coefficients and Bland–Altman plot were analyzed. We compared these parameters in both intra- and inter-operator for evaluating the agreement in the measurements. The values of % difference were excellent, 0.2–3.5%, in the intra-operator in all calculated volume-based parameters. In both inter- and intra-operator analysis, the values of % differences were lower in the parameters calculated by SUV 2.5 fixed value as a lower threshold compared with those calculated by 30% of SUVmax as a lower threshold. The correlation coefficient in MTV30% for inter-operator were 0.84 or 0.87, those were lower than values by the intra-operator evaluation. Nevertheless, the correlation coefficients were higher than 0.84 in every parameter. Particularly, correlation coefficient in the parameters calculated by SUV 2.5 fixed value was better than those calculated by 30% of SUVmax. The Bland–Altman plot analysis showed good agreement for all parameters, particularly in the intra-operator examinations. However, in the inter-operator study, some variances were noted in every condition. In conclusion, the reproducibility of measuring volume-based FDG-PET/CT parameters of soft tissue tumors was good, particularly, in the measurement by fixed lower limit value SUV 2.5 in the intra-operator.
