Incorporating Tissue Composition Information in Total-Body PET Metabolic Quantification of Bone Marrow through Dual-Energy CT

Siqi Li, Benjamin A. Spencer, Yiran Wang +7

Bone marrow (BM) metabolic quantification with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) is of broad clinical significance for accurate assessment of BM at st…

Total-Body Parametric Imaging Using Relative Patlak Plot

Siqi Li, Yasser G. Abdelhafez, Lorenzo Nardo +3

Standard Patlak plot is widely used to describe FDG kinetics for dynamic PET imaging. Whole-body Patlak parametric imaging remains constrained due to the need for a full-time input…

Feasibility of PET-enabled dual-energy CT imaging: First physical phantom and initial patient results

Yansong Zhu, Siqi Li, Zhaoheng Xie +9

X-ray computed tomography (CT) in PET/CT is commonly operated with a single energy, resulting in a limitation of lacking tissue composition information. Dual-energy (DE) spectral C…

Supplemental Transmission Aided Attenuation Correction for Quantitative Cardiac PET/MR

Mi-Ae Park, Vlad G. Zaha, Ramsey D. Badawi +1

Quantitative PET attenuation correction (AC) for combined cardiac PET/MR is a challenging problem. We propose and evaluate an AC approach that uses coincidences from a relatively w…
