Dose Reduction in Brain [ 18 F]FDG PET/MRI: Give It Half a Chance

ConclusionsA reduction of the [18F]FDG dose down to 1  MBq/kg is possible when performing 20-min brain PET/MRI without modifying diagnostic performance and quantitative assessments. The advantage is a significant reduction in the patient effective dose, which is non-negligible in longitudinal follow-up studies and in research protocols involving healt hy volunteers.
