From SPECT/CT towards absolute quantification? - the case of unilateral condylar hyperplasia of the mandible
Anthropomorphic phantoms were shown to be essential in determining optimal settings for acquisition, reconstruction, and analysis. SPECT/CT reconstructions with attenuation and scatter correction and resolution modeling are recommended and could improve specificity when using the 55%:45% threshold to assess condylar growth.
