Variability and Uncertainty of 18F-FDG PET Imaging Protocols for Assessing Inflammation in Atherosclerosis: Suggestions for Improvement

Résumé

PET with (18)F-FDG shows promise for the evaluation of metabolic activities in atherosclerotic plaques. Although recommendations regarding the acquisition and measurement protocols to be used for (18)F-FDG PET imaging of atherosclerosis inflammation have been published, there is no consensus regarding the most appropriate protocols, and the image reconstruction approach has been especially overlooked. Given the small size of the targeted lesions, the reconstruction and measurement methods might strongly affect the results. We determined the differences in results due to the protocol variability and identified means of increasing the measurement reliability.
