Effect of data-driven gating on the quantification of prostate cancer metastases in 68Ga-PSMA- and ¹⁸F-DCFPyL-PSMA PET/CT

PSMA PET/CT using 18F‑DCFPyL and 68Ga‑labelled tracers is central to prostate cancer staging, but 68Ga‑PSMA may show reduced sensitivity and quantitative accuracy, partly due to respiratory motion and lower spatial resolution. Device-based motion‑correction methods have limitations. Data‑driven gating (DDG) offers a ha...

Differences in the quantitative parameter of lung lesions in dynamic chest FDG PET/CT imaging: framing protocol, reconstruction algorithm, software processing

The primary quantitative endpoint, the Ki value, remains highly robust across all evaluated framing protocols, software platforms, and reconstruction algorithms and facilitates cross-center data harmonization and clinical standardization for multi-center dynamic 18F-FDG PET/CT.

Fully Automated Segmentation of [18F]FDG and [68Ga]/[18F]PSMA PET/CT Images via Data-Centric Deep Learning.

The purpose of this study was to develop and validate lesion identification in oncologic nuclear imaging (LION), an open-source PET-only tumor segmentation pipeline for [18F]FDG and prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted PET/CT, and to investigate how training data characteristics influence segmentation per...

Uncertainty-aware auto-segmentation enables adaptive radiotherapy planning of liver metastases.

PURPOSE Despite remarkable auto-segmentation performance and growing clinical adoption, models frequently fail to generalize beyond the training distribution. Therefore, this study aimed to develop and validate an uncertainty-aware segmentation pipeline that yields high delineation accuracy for liver cancer patients an...

CT protocol optimization for oncologic surveillance imaging: phantom-based comparison of multi-scan and single-scan acquisition strategies

Optimize CT acquisition protocols reduced radiation dose while preserving the evaluated objective image quality metrics in the cranial, thoracic, and upper abdominal regions, and was identified as a candidate protocol for subsequent clinical and reader performance validation.

Practical considerations of gadoxetate disodium contrast in MRI-guided liver SBRT for primary and secondary liver tumors: optimizing image quality and patient throughput.

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES Optimal implementation of gadoxetate disodium injection (GDI) in liver-directed MR-guided online adaptive radiotherapy (MRgART) remains poorly characterized. Herein, we evaluated the impact of GDI on physician-reported imaging metrics and quantitative contouring variability during liver MRgART planni...
