Comprehensive SPECT/CT system characterization and calibration for 177Lu quantitative SPECT (QSPECT) with dead-time correctionEJNMMI Physics - Tập 7 - Trang 1-22 - 2020

Personalization of 177Lu-based radionuclide therapy requires implementation of
dosimetry methods that are both accurate and practical enough for routine
clinical use. Quantitative single-photon emission computed tomography/computed
tomography (QSPECT/CT) is the preferred scanning modality to achieve this and
necessitates characterizing the response of the camera, and calibrating it, over

Image quality assessment along the one metre axial field-of-view of the total-body Biograph Vision Quadra PET/CT system for 18F-FDGEJNMMI Physics - Tập 9 - Trang 1-17 - 2022

Recently, total-body PET/CT systems with an extended axial field-of-view (aFOV)
became commercially available which allow acquiring physiologic information of
multiple organs simultaneously. However, the nominal aFOV may clinically not be
used effectively due to the inherently reduced sensitivity at the distal ends of
the aFOV. The aim of this study was to assess the extent of the useful aFOV of

Abstract Background This study evaluated the physical performance of a positron
emission tomography (PET) system dedicated to the head and breast according to
the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) NU2-2012 standard.
Methods The spatial resolution, sensitivity, scatter fraction, count rate
characteristics, corrections for count losses and randoms, and image quality of
the system ... hiện toàn bộ
Feasibility of PET/CT system performance harmonisation for quantitative multicentre 89Zr studiesEJNMMI Physics - Tập 5 - Trang 1-8 - 2018
Andres Kaalep, Marc Huisman, Terez Sera, Danielle Vugts, Ronald Boellaard
The aim of this study was to investigate the variability in quantitative
performance and feasibility of quantitative harmonisation in 89Zr PET/CT
imaging. Eight EANM EARL-accredited (Kaalep A et al., Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging
45:412–22, 2018) PET/CT systems were investigated using phantom acquisitions of
uniform and NEMA NU2-2007 body phantoms. The phantoms were filled according to

To identify the impact of segmentation methods and intensity discretization on
radiomic features (RFs) extraction from 68Ga-DOTA-TOC PET images in patients
with neuroendocrine tumors. Forty-nine patients were retrospectively analyzed.
Tumor contouring was performed manually by four different operators and with a
semi-automatic edge-based segmentation (SAEB) algorithm. Three SUVmax fixed

Quantitative validation of Monte Carlo SPECT simulation: application to a Mediso AnyScan GATE simulationEJNMMI Physics - Tập 10 - Trang 1-25 - 2023

Monte Carlo (MC) simulations are used in nuclear medicine imaging as they
provide unparalleled insight into processes that are not directly experimentally
measurable, such as scatter and attenuation in an acquisition. Whilst MC is
often used to provide a ‘ground-truth’, this is only the case if the simulation
is fully validated against experimental data. This work presents a quantitative
validatio... hiện toàn bộ
