Attenuation Correction Strategies for Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography and 4-Dimensional Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography.
This article discusses attenuation correction strategies in positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and 4-dimensional PET/CT imaging. Average CT scan derived from averaging the high temporal resolution CT images is effective in improving the registration of the CT and the PET images and quantification of the PET data. It underscores list-mode data acquisition in 4-dimensional ...

متن کاملX-ray-based attenuation correction for positron emission tomography/computed tomography scanners.
A synergy of positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scanners is the use of the CT data for x-ray-based attenuation correction of the PET emission data. Current methods of measuring transmission use positron sources, gamma-ray sources, or x-ray sources. Each of the types of transmission scans involves different trade-offs of noise versus bias, with positron transmission scan...
متن کاملMeasuring coronary artery calcification using positron emission tomography-computed tomography attenuation correction images.
AIMS Cardiac computed tomography (CT) measured coronary artery calcium (CAC-CT) is a well-validated and accurate tool for estimating atherosclerotic burden and prognosis. Computed tomography attenuation correction (ACCT) obtained during cardiac positron emission tomography (PET) has been used to visually estimate CAC; however, quantification using a non-gated ACCT images has not been described....
متن کاملAttenuation correction in cardiac positron emission tomography and single-photon emission computed tomography.
Quantitation in cardiac positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) depends on being able to correct for several physical factors that tend to distort the data. One of the most important of these corrections is the correction for attenuation. For PET, cardiac attenuation correction is a reality, although certain problems remain to be solved. For SPE...
