Hi! Generally speaking, normal SUV max values are usually in the range of 2 to 3 for most tissues. The SUV scale is relative, and what is considered "high" may vary among individuals and institutions. Typically, SUV values greater than 3 are often considered elevated (and can indicate inflammation/infection or a malignancy). Hope this helps :-)
