To analyze standardized uptake values (SUVs) using three different tube current intensities for attenuation correction on (18)FNaF PET/CT scans.
A total of 254 (18)F-NaF PET/CT studies were analyzed using 10, 20 and 30 mAs. The SUVs were calculated in volumes of interest (VOIs) drawn on three skeletal regions, namely, right proximal humeral diaphysis (RH), right proximal femoral diaphysis (RF), and first lumbar vertebra (LV1) in a total of 712 VOIs. The analyses covered 675 regions classified as normal (236 RH, 232 RF, and 207 LV1).
Mean SUV for each skeletal region was 3.8, 5.4 and 14.4 for RH, RF, and LV1, respectively. As the studies were grouped according to mAs value, the mean SUV values were 3.8, 3.9 and 3.7 for 10, 20 and 30 mAs, respectively, in the RH region; 5.4, 5.5 and 5.4 for 10, 20 and 30 mAs, respectively, in the RF region; 13.8, 14.9 and 14.5 for 10, 20 and 30 mAs, respectively, in the LV1 region.
The three tube current values yielded similar results for SUV calculation.
分析在(18)FNaF PET/CT扫描中使用三种不同管电流强度进行衰减校正时的标准化摄取值(SUV)。
使用10、20和30 mAs对总共254例(18)F-NaF PET/CT研究进行分析。在总共712个感兴趣区(VOI)中,在三个骨骼区域,即右肱骨近端骨干(RH)、右股骨近端骨干(RF)和第一腰椎(LV1)绘制VOI并计算SUV。分析涵盖675个分类为正常的区域(236个RH、232个RF和207个LV1)。
RH、RF和LV1每个骨骼区域的平均SUV分别为3.8、5.4和14.4。当根据mAs值对研究进行分组时,RH区域中10、20和30 mAs的平均SUV值分别为3.8、3.9和3.7;RF区域中10、20和30 mAs的平均SUV值分别为5.4、5.5和5.4;LV1区域中10、20和30 mAs的平均SUV值分别为13.8、14.9和14.5。
三种管电流值在SUV计算中产生了相似的结果。
