Assessment of dual time point protocols to produce parametric <i>K</i><sub>i</sub> images in FDG PET/CT: A virtual clinical study
Feasibility of generating Patlak K<sub>i</sub> [<sup>18</sup>F] FDG images from an early and a late post injection 3-min/bed routine static scan using a population-based input function model was demonstrated and an optimal DTP scan protocol was determined. The results indicated high correlations between DTP-K<sub>i</sub> and gold-standard K<sub>i</sub> images that are significantly larger than those between RI and gold-standard K<sub>i</sub>.
