Dynamic whole-body PET parametric imaging: II. Task-oriented statistical estimation.
In the context of oncology, dynamic PET imaging coupled with standard graphical linear analysis has been previously employed to enable quantitative estimation of tracer kinetic parameters of physiological interest at the voxel level, thus, enabling quantitative PET parametric imaging. However, dynamic PET acquisition protocols have been confined to the limited axial field-of-view (~15-20 cm) of...
متن کاملWhole-body dynamic imaging with continuous bed motion PET/CT
Most dynamic imaging protocols require long scan times that are beyond the range of what can be supported in a routine clinical environment and suffer from various difficulties related to step and shoot imaging techniques. In this short communication, we describe continuous bed motion (CBM) imaging techniques to create clinically relevant 15 min whole-body dynamic PET imaging protocols. We also...
متن کامل4D PET: Beyond conventional dynamic PET imaging
In this paper, we review novel techniques in the emerging field of spatiotemporal 4D PET imaging. We will discuss existing limitations in conventional dynamic PET imaging which involves independent reconstruction of dynamic PET datasets. Various approaches that seek to attempt some or all of these limitations are reviewed in this work, including techniques that util...
متن کاملWhole-body imaging with PET/MRI.
Whole-body positron emission tomography (PET) scanning with the radiolabeled glucose analogue 2-[fluorine-18]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ( superset 18 F-FDG) can identify areas of cancerous involvement and distinguish malignant from benign lesions and therefore, plays an important role in the diagnosis and management of patients with cancer. PET facilitates the evaluation of metabolic and molecul...
متن کاملWhole-body direct 4D parametric PET imaging employing nested generalized Patlak expectation-maximization reconstruction.
Whole-body (WB) dynamic PET has recently demonstrated its potential in translating the quantitative benefits of parametric imaging to the clinic. Post-reconstruction standard Patlak (sPatlak) WB graphical analysis utilizes multi-bed multi-pass PET acquisition to produce quantitative WB images of the tracer influx rate K i as a complimentary metric to the semi-quantitative standardized uptake va...
