The phrase "alignment percentage" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are discussing the degree to which two or more items, such as data sets or objectives, correspond or match each other.
Example: "The alignment percentage between the two data sets was calculated to be 85%, indicating a strong correlation."
Alternatives: "matching rate" or "correlation percentage".
A typical alignment percentage defined as number of uniquely aligned reads over total pass filtered reads was around 55-65%.
The alignment percentage per patient using ΔSUV and Δ percentage is detailed in Table 2.
RECIST tumor response was not related to the thoracic alignment percentage.
If there were any large discrepancies (i.e., <80% alignment using ΔSUV), we further investigated the reason for this low alignment percentage.

There was no relation between the alignment percentage and tumor response (Figure 5), signal to noise ratio of either the liver or normal parts of the lung, or with the distribution of the original SUV. Figure 5 Relation between thoracic imaging alignment and tumor response according to RECIST criteria per patient.
Alignment percentages of both datasets are reported in Table 2.
Previous studies report alignment percentages from as low as 70% up to 94% [ 24, 27, 50– 50].
Only results with score ratios over 0.2 and alignment percentages above 60% were kept for further studies.
Longer tag sequences, higher alignment percentages and more stringent gap and mismatch scores will result in more accurate tag sequence identification.
Trimming 4 bp and 9 bp from 5′ end resulted in a larger improvement in alignment percentages (84 and 89%, respectively), which is likely the result of removing low quality information from the reads.
