Impact of total activity variation in 18F-FDG injected with the overall PET image quality in oncology patients
The preliminary study aims to investigate whether variation on dose activity 18F -FDG will influence the overall PET image quality in oncology patients. This is a retrospective analysis of 10 oncology patients who were injected with an average of 337.40 ± 38.43 MBq of 18F -FDG for PET/CT whole body...
