Investigation of 18F-FDG 3D mode PET image quality versus acquisition time

Three-dimensional (3D) mode positron emission tomography (PET) is being used increasingly for clinical PET imaging. However, as yet, optimal acquisition parameters have not been established. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of varying acquisition time on 3D image quality using standard clinical activities of F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG).F-FDG phantom and patient PET images were acquired with varying acquisition times on a GE...
