Impact of Different Metal Artifact Reduction Techniques on Attenuation Correction of Normal Organs in <sup>18</sup>F-FDG-PET/CT

Impact of Different Metal Artifact Reduction Techniques on Attenuation Correction of Normal Organs in <sup>18</sup>F-FDG-PET/CT

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of different metal artifact reduction algorithms on Hounsfield units (HU) and the standardized uptake value (SUV) in normal organs in patients with different metal implants. Methods: This study prospectively included 66 patients (mean age of 66.02 ± 13.1 years) with 8...
