PURPOSE: To address the challenges of verifying MR-based attenuation correction (MRAC) in PET/MR due to CT positional mismatches and alignment issues, this study utilized a flatbed insert and arms-down positioning during PET/CT scans to achieve preci...
PURPOSE: This study aimed to develop a deep learning (DL) model for brain region parcellation using CT data from PET/CT scans to enable accurate amyloid quantification in 18 F-FBB PET/CT without relying on high-resolution MRI.
