In a study where we compare FDG to PET scanning between two different types of groups of cancer patients, how would you analyze data that shows the difference of metabolic activity?
a) Measure the uptake of FDG in cancer cells using standardized uptake values (SUVs).
b) Compare the PET scan images visually for differences in metabolic activity.
c) Conduct statistical analysis comparing mean SUVs between the two groups.
d) Perform qualitative analysis of metabolic patterns observed in the scans.
