High photon attenuation and scatter in obese patients affect image quality. The purpose of
the current study was to optimize lutetium orthosilicate (LSO) PET image acquisition …

The quality of 18F-FDG PET/CT images of overweight patients is often degraded. We
evaluated the effect of optimizing injected dose or acquisition time on the quality of images …

This study was performed to prospectively evaluate fast PET/CT imaging protocols using
lutetium oxyorthosilicate (LSO) detector technology and 3-dimensional (3D) image …

Abstract Background The European Association of Nuclear Medicine procedure guidelines
for whole-body fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography (FDG-PET) scanning …

The choice of injected dose of 18F-FDG and acquisition time is important in obtaining
consistently high-quality PET images. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal …

The administered dose of 18F-FDG can be greatly reduced using body mass index (BMI)
instead of the patient's weight, without diminishing image quality. We have focused on …

Objective The relative advantage of fully 3-D versus 2-D mode for whole-body imaging is
currently the focus of considerable expert debate. The nature of 3-D PET acquisition for FDG …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the image quality and diagnostic
performance of different reconstructions over a wide range of patient body mass indices …

Obtaining consistent high image quality is desirable for clinical positron emission
tomography (PET). Body morphology may impact image quality. The purpose of this study …

Whole-body positron emission tomography (PET) with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) has
proven to be a very effective staging imaging modality in many malignant tumours …
