The necessity for standardization in clinical PET/CT protocols was acknowledged and initiated nearly 20 y ago (1–4). This recognition mainly stemmed from multicenter trials focused on quantifying and ...

Obtaining accurate quantitative measurements in preclinical Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) imaging is of paramount importance in biomedical research and helps supporting ...

In the medical era of early detection of diseases and tailored therapies, an accurate characterization and staging of the disease is pivotal for treatment planning. The widespread use of computed ...

Our purpose was to review the scientific literature and collect information regarding clinical and technical parameters of different single- or multiphase CT protocols, their diagnostic performance ...

Objectives The risks and benefits of using computed tomography (CT) as opposed to another imaging modality to accomplish a particular clinical goal should be weighed carefully. To accurately assess ...

PET and CT hybrid imaging using 18 F-FDG is an important tool in the management of oncologic patients for clinical diagnosis, staging, prognosis, and treatment response assessment (1–3). Optimal ...

Objective To compare the diagnostic accuracy and radiation doses of two low-dose protocols for coronary artery imaging with second-generation, dual-source CT in comparison with catheter angiography ...

ABSTRACT: Background: Among medical technologies that use ionizing radiation, CT is currently the radio diagnostic technic that can deliver the highest radiation to the Patient compared with other ...

Objective Prospective ECG gated coronary CT angiography (pECG-CCTA) has become an alternative CT protocol. It limits radiation exposure at a narrowed predefined end diastolic time segment instead of ...
