Effects of Transmission Scan Protocol and Attenuation Correction Method on Normal Database of 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (18F-FDG) Brain Positron Emission Tomography Study
Abstract:Although post-injection transmission scan (POST-TS) after 2-[(18)F]fluoro-2-deoxy- D-glucose ((18)F-FDG) injection[A1] is useful for short examination times, the emission count of (18)F-FDG[A2] in the regional brain area was not completely subtracted with use of the POST-TS method. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of POST-TS and attenuation correction (AC) methods on the normal database (NDB). A 10 min pre-injection transmission scan (PRE-TS) was performed before (18)F-FDG[A3] was inject… Show more
