Clinical feasibility study of early 30-minute dynamic FDG-PET scanning protocol for patients with lung lesions

Abstract

This study indicates that an early 30-minute dynamic FDG-PET acquisition appears to be sufficient to provide quantitative images with good-quality and accurate Ki values for the assessment of lung lesions and prediction of PD-L1 expression. Protocols with a shortened early 30-minute acquisition time may be considered for patients who have difficulty with prolonged acquisitions to improve the efficiency of clinical acquisitions.
