PET/CT-guided biopsy with respiratory motion correction

ConclusionThe RASP method can produce PET images with reduced noise, attenuation artifacts and respiratory motion, resulting in more accurate lesion localization. Testing the PET/CT-guided biopsy workflow using computer simulation and physical phantoms with respiratory motion, we demonstrated that guided biopsy procedure with the RASP method can benefit from improved PET image quality due to noise reduction, without compromising the accuracy of lesion localization.
