Smart scanning for two: [18F]FDG dose optimization for pregnant patients using LAFOV PET/CT technology

BSA accurately predicted [<sup>18</sup>F]FDG PET/CT image quality in pregnant patients. The proposed dosage regimen allows significant dose reduction and can be used as a foundation for the development of pregnancy dosage protocols.
