Ultra-low dose PET protocol eliminates need for CT, uses dose 50 times lower than current standard - EurekAlert
A new ultra-low dose imaging method used with long axial field-of-view PET scanners can obtain images with a historically low radiopharmaceutical dose—more than 50 times lower than the standard effective dose. Furthermore, the technique can generate quantitative PET images without the need for accompanying CT scans, greatly reducing the amount of radiation exposure to patients. This research was presented at the 2024 Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Annual Meeting.
