Comparison of image quality with 62Cu and 64Cu-labeled radiotracers in positron emission tomography whole-body phantom imaging.

CONCLUSIONS: Copper-64 radiotracers provide higher image quality than (62)Cu-radiotracers in whole-body tumor imaging only when the 3D acquisition mode and OSEM algorithm are applied. However, the quantitative values for smaller tumors may be slightly overestimated. PMID: 26187208 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
