A Single Dual-Tracer PET Imaging Acquisition to Provide Information on Tumor Heterogeneities
nuclear science symposium and medical imaging conference(2020)
摘要
In PET imaging, the use of different tracers may provide complementary information on tumor heterogeneities. A single PET acquisition with dual-tracer injection prevents bias between sequential acquisitions. As already shown in the literature, it is possible to separate two PET signals from equal half-life isotope tracers based on their pharmacokinetics. With the goal of building a generic framework for reconstructing separated images of each tracer from dual-tracer PET acquisitions, we propose to take benefits from a spectral model without any assumptions about kinetics. Using 1D simulations of FLT+FDG, we evaluated the ability of the model to separate and extract parameters of interest for each tracer with respect to the delay between injections.
