Establishing local diagnostic reference levels for adult whole-body PET/CT in Malaysia
The administered activity of 18F-FDG, 68Ga-PSMA, and 68Ga-DOTATATE examinations can be reduced without compromising or affecting the image quality. The proposed LDRL values for the CT parameters of the whole-body 18F-FDG examinations were the lowest among all compared values, but 68Ga-PSMA and 68Ga-DOTATATE examinations require further studies to optimize patient radiation doses in Malaysia and other regions while maintaining image quality.
