Automatic Extraction of Myocardial Mass and Volume Using Parametric Images from Dynamic Nongated PET

Conclusion: LV mass and volume are accurately and automatically generated from dynamic 11C-acetate PET without electrocardiogram gating. This method can be incorporated in a standard routine without any additional workload and can, in theory, be extended to other PET tracers.
