Quantitative positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) can be used as
diagnostic or prognostic tools (ie single measurement) or for therapy monitoring (ie …

Objectives To evaluate the effect of pre-scan blood glucose levels (BGL) on standardized
uptake value (SUV) in 18 F-FDG-PET scan. Methods A literature review was performed in …

Texture indices are of growing interest for tumor characterization in 18F-FDG PET. Yet, on
the basis of results published in the literature so far, it is unclear which indices should be …

Evaluation of tumor heterogeneity based on texture parameters has recently attracted much
interest in the PET imaging community. However, the impact of reconstruction settings on …

Abstract Purpose From 2010 until July 2016, the EANM Research Ltd.(EARL) FDG-PET/CT
accreditation program has collected over 2500 phantom datasets from approximately 200 …

Purpose To establish the feasibility of shorter acquisition times (and by analogy, applied
activity) on tumour detection and lesion contrast in digital PET/CT. Methods Twenty-one …

Many factors affect standardized uptake values (SUVs) in 18 F-FDG PET/CT. The use of the
SUV from a single PET scan in multicenter studies requires the standardization of 18 F-FDG …

For many types of cancer, 18F-FDG PET/CT is commonly used in evaluation and
management, including tumor diagnosis, staging, restaging, treatment monitoring, and …
