Effect of scatter coincidences, partial volume, positron range and non-colinearity on the quantification of FDOPA Patlak analysis
Introduction: The key characteristics of positron emission tomography (PET) are its quantitative capability and its sensitivity, which allow the in vivo imaging of biochemical interactions with small amounts of tracer concentrations. Therefore, accurate quantification is important. However, it can be sensitive to several physical factors. The aim of this investigation is the assessment of the e...
متن کاملNon-invasive quantification of liver fat content by different Gradient Echo MRI sequences in patients with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
Introduction: Non-invasive quantification of liver fat by Gradient echo (GRE) Technique is an interesting issue in quantitative MRI. Despite the numerous advantages of this technique, fat measurement maybe biased by confounding and effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the GRE pulse sequences with different and weighting for liver fat quantification in patients with...
متن کاملGeneral Methodology for Accurate MRI Abdominal Adipose Tissue Quantification
INTRODUCTION Fast and accurate quantification of abdominal adipose tissues has been a challenge. Traditionally, non-water-saturated (NWS), T1-weighted (T1W) techniques have been used for abdominal fat quantification on humans. Although fat signal is usually significantly higher than non-fat tissues, image quality is complicated by the relatively low signal-to-noise ratio and/or contrast-to-nois...

UNLABELLED The link between central adiposity and cognition has been established by indirect measures such as body mass index (BMI) or waist-hip ratio. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) quantification of central abdominal fat has been linked to elevated risk of cardiovascular and cerebro-vascular disease. However it is not known how quantification of visceral fat correlates with cognitive perfor...
متن کاملQuantification of partial volume effects in planar imaging
Introduction: The limited resolution of the imaging system causes partial volume effects (PVEs). These results in spreading of image counts to the neighboring pixels. This phenomenon is called spill-out effect. This study aimed at quantifying PVEs using ImageJ. Methods:Technetium-99m solution of concentration of 74 kBq/ml was filled into spheres A, B<...
