PET-imaging is a useful tool for management of certain glioma patients. The variable availability of adequate tracers, their short half-life, but also administrative obstacles and financial constraints are hampering the prospective evaluati...

This review is intended to discuss ways in which global and regional organ function may be assessed by using modern tomographic imaging methods. In addition, we discuss using (18)F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET to monitor treatment response ...

With the arrival of increasingly higher-resolution PET systems, small amounts of motion can cause significant blurring in the resulting images compared with the intrinsic resolution of the PET scanner. The authors review advanced correction...

In the early days of PET, the partial volume effect (PVE) was identified as a serious factor affecting image quality and limiting the accuracy of quantitative analysis. Because of the limited spatial resolution of clinical PET systems, the ...

PET is intrinsically a quantitative imaging modality that offers the possibility of quantitative assessment of tracer concentration in vivo. This quantification is valid only if accurate corrections for the physical degrading factors are pe...

In recent years, three important quantitative concepts in PET analysis have been developed: partial volume correction of standardized uptake value (SUV) in small lesions, dual-time point and delayed PET imaging, and assessment of global met...
