China: Respiratory-gating imaging with reduced acquisition time using the total-body PET (positron emission tomography)/CT (computed tomography) scanner is superior to ungated imaging and can be utilized in the clinic, says research published in European Radiology.
Respiratory gating in PET imaging can improve lesion presentation and detectability but requires a longer imaging time. Guobing Liu from the Shanghai Institute of Medical Imaging, Shanghai, China, and colleagues conducted the single-centre study to look into the performance of respiratory-gating imaging with reduced acquisition time using PET/CT scanner.
