Effect of kilovoltage and quality reference mAs on CT-based attenuation correction in 177Lu SPECT/CT imaging: a phantom study

Abstract Introduction CT-based attenuation correction (CT-AC) plays a major role in accurate activity quantification by SPECT/CT imaging. However, the effect of kilovoltage peak (kVp) and quality-reference mAs (QRM) on the attenuation coefficient image (μ-map) and volume CT dose index (CTDIvol) have...
