Figures
- FIGURE 1.
18F-FDG PET/CT images of 75-y-old woman with advanced lung cancer and lymph node metastases. Metastatic lymph node in right axilla (box) is clearly identifiable on 3-min scan (top) and 1.5-min scan (bottom). Image quality of 1.5-min scan is slightly reduced as result of more pronounced blurring.
- FIGURE 2.
Axial PET images of obese patient with increased blood sugar (148 mg/dL). Left image was acquired at 3 min per bed position; right image, at 1.5 min per bed position. Image quality was considerably reduced for both acquisition times and was rated poor for 1.5-min scan, which could be relevant in critical regions such as upper abdomen.
