Improving the Detection of Small Lesions Using a State-of-the-Art Time-of-Flight PET/CT System and Small-Voxel Reconstructions

Abstract

Supported by a phantom study, there was a visual preference toward (18)F-FDG PET images reconstructed with 2 × 2 × 2 mm voxels and a profound increase in standardized uptake value and SNR for small lesions. Hence, it is expected that small-lesion detection improves using small-voxel reconstructions.
