Impact of patient body habitus on image quality and quantitative value in bone SPECT/CT

ConclusionsPatient body habitus significantly affects image quality and decreases the quantitative value in bone SPECT/CT. For the optimization, extend acquisition time according to the patient body habitus is effective for image quality. And for the standardization, it is important to achieve imaging conditions that meet the Japanese bone SPECT guidelines criteria to ensure adequate detectability.
