Table 2 Simulated data: mean estimated kernel \(\textrm{FWHM}(xyz)\) of the six VOIs for each methodology at 200i or greater, and the resultant AF-corrected VOI RMSE when these kernels are applied to the CT for AFC
From: Optimisation of the air fraction correction for lung PET/CT: addressing resolution mismatch
Method | Kernel FWHM(xyz) [mm] | AF-corrected VOI RMSE [%SUVAFC] |
|---|---|---|
\(h_{pts}\) | 7.82 ± 0.25 | 6.07 ± 1.25 |
\(h_{PVC}\) | 9.00 ± 0.87 | 6.51 ± 1.25 |
\(h_{AFC}\) | 9.23 ± 0.99 | 6.56 ± 1.37 |
