Modeling contrast-to-noise ratio from list mode reconstructions of < sup > 68 < /sup > Ga DOTATATE PET/CT: predicting detectability of hepatic metastases in shorter acquisition PET reconstructions

CONCLUSIONS: CNR for shorter DOTATATE PET imaging times may be accurately predicted using list mode reconstructions of longer acquisitions. A threshold CNR may be applied to longer duration images to ensure lesion detectability of shorter duration reconstructions. This method can aid in the selection of lesions to include in novel data augmentation techniques for deep learning.PMID:36923602 | PMC:PMC10009466
