Figures
- FIGURE 1.
Anterior projection of patient’s whole-body CT image series, alongside a respiratory waveform aligned with the CT projection, with increasing amplitude toward right. Axial zones where CT/in and CT/ex occurred are indicated.
- FIGURE 2.
Respiratory waveform amplitudes plotted vs. time in PET scan. (A) Amplitude range used for OG. (B–F) Time and amplitude ranges for successive positions between upper lung and upper abdomen. a.u. = arbitrary units.
- FIGURE 3.
Coronal PET/CT images from 3 patient scans. Static (A, D, and G), PET/ex (B, E, and H), and PET/matched (C, F, and I) reconstructions are shown.
