Lung cancer is a common disease and the leading cause of cancer-related mortality, with
non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounting for the majority of cases. Following …

2-deoxy-2-(18Fluorine)-fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) PET/CT is an integral part of lung carcinoma
staging and frequently used in the assessment of solitary pulmonary nodules. However, a …

PET with 18F-FDG has been increasingly applied, predominantly in the research setting, to
study drug effects and pulmonary biology and to monitor disease progression and treatment …

While the pursuit of better time resolution in positron emission tomography (PET) is rapidly
evolving, little work has been performed on time of flight (TOF) image quality at high time …

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a quantitative molecular imaging modality
increasingly used to study pulmonary disease processes and drug effects on those …

Abstract Background Increased pulmonary 18 F-FDG metabolism in patients with idiopathic
pulmonary fibrosis, and other forms of diffuse parenchymal lung disease, can predict …

Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) lung imaging is highly
sensitive to motion. Although several techniques exist to diminish motion artifacts, a few …

PET/CT images are commonly used for cancer detection and management. In order to
obtain high accuracy of tumour interpretation as well as the following treatment planning …

Emission-based attenuation correction (AC) methods offer the possibility of overcoming
quantification errors induced by conventional MR-based approaches in PET and Magnetic …

Background Matched attenuation maps are vital for obtaining accurate and reproducible
kinetic and static parameter estimates from PET data. With increased interest in PET/CT …
