F-18 Choline PET angiography of the pelvic arteries: evaluation of image quality and comparison with contrast-enhanced CT

Purpose The purpose was to show the feasibility of F-18 choline positron emission tomography (PET) angiography for the evaluation of abdominal and iliac arteries. Methods Thirty-five patients were examined and image quality was scored. Findings were correlated with contrast-enhanced computed tomography. Results Image quality was best in the aorta and common iliac arteries (100% and 93% of vessels). Negative predictive values of PET angiography...
