Comparison of Methods for Magnetic Resonance-Guided [18-F]Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography in Human Carotid Arteries

Abstract

MR-guided FDG-PET is a highly reproducible technique in the carotid artery and the excellent anatomic detail provided by MR facilitates PVC. Of the methods examined, SUV(BSA)(PVC) appears to represent the best compromise between reproducible and accurate determination of FDG metabolism in carotid artery vessel wall.
