Impact of motion compensation and partial volume correction for 18F-NaF PET/CT imaging of coronary plaque.

In conclusion, we have built and validated a STIR framework incorporating MoCo and PVC for 18F-NaF PET imaging of coronary plaques. First results indicate an improved quantification of plaque-type lesions.
