Attenuation Correction Strategies for Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography and 4-Dimensional Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography - 27/11/12
, Habib Zaidi, PhD, PD b, c, dRésumé |
This article discusses attenuation correction strategies in positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and 4-dimensional PET/CT imaging. Average CT scan derived from averaging the high temporal resolution CT images is effective in improving the registration of the CT and the PET images and quantification of the PET data. It underscores list-mode data acquisition in 4-dimensional PET, and introduces 4-dimensional CT, popular in thoracic treatment planning, to 4-dimensional PET/CT.
