1930 Objectives Several methods to correct partial volume effect (PVE), based on magnetic
resonance (MR) images, have been proposed and utilized widely in PET studies. However …

72 Introduction: Partial volume effects impair the accurate quantification of PET scans, and
are important consideration in voxelwise statistical analyses. A number of methods have …

2041 Objectives Partial volume correction (PVC) is necessary in brain PET studies to
differentiate an artefactual reduction in radiotracer uptake due to cerebral atrophy from a true …

Purpose: Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging offers the possibility of measuring
brain metabolic activity in vivo. However, brain PET images remain difficult to interpret in …

550 Objectives: The partial volume effects (PVE) in cerebral FDG PET have two main
outcomes. Firstly, they lead to imprecision when calculating mean activity in regions of …

Objective In quantitative positron emission tomography (PET) of the brain, partial volume
effect due mainly to the finite spatial resolution of the PET scanner (> 3 mm full width at half …

Methods The accuracy of anatomically-guided PVC algorithms in brain PET is largely
dependent on the performance of segmentation algorithms (Zaidi et al., 2006) partitioning …

3225 Introduction: The partial volume effect (PVE) is a consequence of the limited spatial
resolution of PET scanners. PVE causes the underestimation of intensity values of a …

1409 Objectives: Partial volume effects (PVE) are known to degrade quantitative accuracy in
PET, and thus multiple partial volume compensation (PVC) methods have been developed …

Partial volume effect is still considered one of the main limitations in brain PET imaging
given the limited spatial resolution of current generation PET scanners. The accuracy of …
