Abstract:Purpose: High precision within quantitative imaging studies is required to define biological targets for dose painting, and to evaluate responses to therapy. However, within PET imaging systems there are position‐dependent systematic fluctuations in contrast‐recovery. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of patient set‐up on PET‐based quantification of heterogeneous tumors. Methods: Ten dogs with sinonasal tumors received six repeated [18F]FDG‐PET scans. Between each PET acquisition, known s… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
