Background The objective of the study is to define the most appropriate region for intensity
normalization in brain 18 FDG PET semi-quantitative analysis. The best option could be …

Abstract Objectives In brain 18 F-FDG PET data intensity normalization is usually applied to
control for unwanted factors confounding brain metabolism. However, it can be difficult to …

The primary method for measuring brain metabolism in humans is positron emission
tomography (PET) imaging using the tracer 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). Standardized …

A cross-sectional group study of the effects of aging on brain metabolism as measured with
18 F-FDG-PET was performed using several different partial volume correction (PVC) …

[11C] TMSX ([7-N-methyl-11C]-(E)-8-(3, 4, 5-trimethoxystyryl)-1, 3, 7-trimethylxanthine) is a
selective adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR) radioligand. In the central nervous system (CNS) …

The definition of regions of interest for PET data analysis poses a number of complex
problems. While studies have shown that regions drawn on a template can be appropriate …

Introduction The implementation of spatial-covariance [18 F] fluorodeoxyglucose positron
emission tomography–based disease-related metabolic brain patterns as biomarkers has …

Aim We constructed and evaluated reference brain FDG-PET databases for usage by three

BACKGROUND: Global mean (GM) normalization is one of the most commonly used
methods of normalization in PET and SPECT group comparison studies of …

Careful selection of the reference region for non-quantitative positron emission tomography
(PET) analyses is critically important for Region of Interest (ROI) data analyses. We …
