Figures
- FIGURE 1.
PET/CT melanoma protocol that has been set up using 2 CBM ranges.
- FIGURE 2.
Comparison of respiratory gating using SS vs. CBM. (A) Multi–bed-position SS method shows number of positions required to cover lungs. (B) Three-range CBM gating image shows how exact ranges can be set around lung field and the advantage of not being limited by bed size.
- FIGURE 3.
Example of complex workflow and ranges set on a topogram.
