1237 Objectives Current whole-body (WB) PET protocols do not capture tracer kinetic data
and are overlooking potentially valuable information. We describe an alternative protocol …

P736 Introduction: Clinical whole-body PET imaging is commonly performed with static
scanning. The measured signal is normally a mix of radiotracer activities in multiple …

1236 Objectives Clinical whole-body PET/CT imaging currently involves static acquisitions
and employs SUV, a semi-quantitative metric with documented limitations. Our objective is to …

Abstract Introduction Recent PET/CT systems have improved sensitivity and spatial
resolution by smaller PET detectors and improved reconstruction software. In addition …

Introduction Accurate quantification of tumour tracer uptake is essential for therapy
monitoring by sequential PET imaging. In this study we investigated to what extent a …

Purpose To investigate the feasibility of reducing the acquisition time for continuous dynamic
positron emission tomography (PET) while retaining acceptable performance in quantifying …

208 Objectives: Dynamic 18 F-FDG PET with tracer kinetic modeling has the potential to
better detect lesions and assess cancer response to therapy. This potential, however, has …

3246 Introduction: PET kinetic modelling methods were developed several decades ago but
and have been shown to contribute information relevant to disease diagnosis, prognosis …

Objectives Continuous bed motion (CBM) acquisition recently became available in whole-
body PET/CT scanners in addition to the conventional step and shoot (S&S) acquisition. In …

428 Objectives: Standard uptake value (SUV) analysis of FDG PET images is increasingly
applied as a practical and useful method to monitor tumor response to therapy. The …
