Impact of tissue-independent positron range correction on [68Ga]Ga-DOTATOC and [68Ga]Ga-PSMA PET image reconstructions: a patient data study
A tissue-independent PRC increased the SUV<sub>max</sub> and CNR in soft tissue, bone, and lung lesions with a larger effect for the small lesions. Visual assessment demonstrated similar or better image quality, lesion detectability, and diagnostic confidence in PRC images compared to the non-PRC images.
