Phantom and clinical evaluation of the Bayesian penalised likelihood reconstruction algorithm Q.Clear without PSF correction in amyloid PET images

CONCLUSION: Gibbs artefacts disappeared from phantom images using the BPL without PSF correction. Visual and quantitative evaluation of [18F]flutemetamol imaging was independent of the reconstruction method. The BPL without PSF correction could be the standard reconstruction method for amyloid PET imaging, despite being qualitatively inferior to BPL with PSF correction for [18F]flutemetamol amyloid PET imaging.PMID:38647924 | PMC:PMC11035535 | DOI:10.1186/s40658-024-00641-3
