Evaluation of partial volume effect correction methods for brain positron emission tomography: Quantification and reproducibility
Quantitative accuracy of positron emission tomography (PET) is decreased by the partial volume effect (PVE). The PVE correction (PVC) methods proposed by Alfano et al., Rousset et al., Müller-Gärtner et al. and Meltzer et al. were evaluated in the present study to obtain guidelines for selecting among them. For accuracy evaluation, the Hoffman brain phantom was scanned with three PETs of differ...
متن کاملPositron emission tomography partial volume correction: estimation and algorithms.
Partial volume effects in positron emission tomography (PET) lead to quantitative under- and over-estimations of the regional concentrations of radioactivity in reconstructed images and corresponding errors in derived functional or parametric images. The limited resolution of PET leads to "tissue-fraction" effects, reflecting underlying tissue heterogeneity, and "spillover" effects between regi...
متن کاملComparison of methods for magnetic resonance-guided [18-F]fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography in human carotid arteries: reproducibility, partial volume correction, and correlation between methods.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Inflammation is a major risk factor for atherosclerotic plaque rupture and clinical events. Previous studies have shown that plaque [(18)F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake correlates with macrophage content. In this study we examined the reproducibility of 3 methods of quantifying plaque FDG uptake in the carotid arteries using positron emission tomography (PET). The corre...
متن کاملBlood Flow With H2150 and Dynamic Positron-Emission Tomography Strategy for Quantification in Relation to the Partial-Volume Effect
An in vivo technique was developed for measuring the absolute myocardial blood flow with H2`50 and dynamic positron-emission tomography. This technique was based on a new model involving the concept of the tissue fraction, which was defined as the fraction of the tissue mass in the volume of the region of interest. The myocardium was imaged dynamically by positron-emission tomography, starting ...
متن کاملMeasurement of radiotracer concentration in brain gray matter using positron emission tomography: MRI-based correction for partial volume effects.
Accuracy in in vivo quantitation of brain function with positron emission tomography (PET) has often been limited by partial volume effects. This limitation becomes prominent in studies of aging and degenerative brain diseases where partial volume effects vary with different degrees of atrophy. The present study describes how the actual gray matter (GM) tracer concentration can be estimated usi...
