Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates how the shape and size of regions-of-interest (ROIs) and volumes of interest (VOIs) affect the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in liver imaging using F-FDG PET scans for cancer screening.
- - It analyzed data from 108 patients, comparing results from different diameter ROIs and VOIs on the liver, finding that while SUV measurements were consistent, the SNR varied significantly between different types.
- - The findings suggest that using a 4-cm-diameter spherical VOI yields the most stable and reproducible SNR, emphasizing the importance of ROI and VOI selection in imaging quality assessments.
