The availability of accurately aligned, whole-body anatomical (CT) and functional (PET)
images could have a significant impact on diagnosing and staging malignant disease and on …

The purpose of these guidelines is to assist physicians in recommending, performing, interpreting
and reporting the results of FDG PET/CT for oncological imaging of adult patients. PET …

To reduce potential mis-registration from differences in the breathing pattern between two
complementary PET and CT data sets, patients are generally allowed to breathe quietly during …

The aim of this guideline is to provide a minimum standard for the acquisition and interpretation
of PET and PET/CT scans with [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). This guideline will …

PURPOSE: To determine the accuracy of dual-modality positron emission tomographic (PET)–computed
tomographic (CT) imaging, as compared with PET alone and CT alone, in the …

A synergy of positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scanners is
