Résumé

PET/CT acquisitions are affected by physiological motion, which lowers the quantization accuracy. Respiratory-gated PET/CT methods require a long acquisition time, which may not be compatible with the clinical schedule. The objective of the present study was to assess the quantization accuracy of short-duration, respiratory-gated PET acquisitions and processing with the "CT-based" methodology developed in our laboratory.
