Bayesian penalised likelihood reconstruction (Q.Clear) of 18F-fluciclovine PET for imaging of recurrent prostate cancer: semi-quantitative and clinical evaluation.

CONCLUSION: BPL reconstruction of 18F-fluciclovine PET images improves SNR, affirmed by overall reader preferences. On balance, β300 is suggested for 18F-fluciclovine whole body PET image reconstruction using BPL. Advances in knowledge: The optimum β is different to that previously published for 18F-FDG, and has practical implications for a relatively new tracer in an environment with modern reconstruction technologies.
