Bladder measurements. Panels A, C and E are boxplots describing the volume, SUVmean and SUVmax of the bladder, according to the presence of unilateral or bilateral hip prostheses and to the use of MAR CT for attenuation correction. Panels B, D and F are boxplots describing the percentual changes of the measured volume, SUVmean and SUVmax induced by MAR. Boxes and whiskers are as in Fig. 7. The width of the boxes is proportional to the square root of the number of observations. Statistical significance of the difference with use of MAR is indicated in panels A, C and E; in panels B, D and F it is indicated whether the percentual increase in SUV differs significantly from 0 (NS denotes not significant, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001)
