Figure 2
Effects of ferumoxytol on measured SUV. Coronal mu-maps (left column) and PET SUV images (right column) showing a typical ROI in the liver region. The top row is data obtained at 5 min after 10 mg/kg ferumoxytol administration (SUV 1.23); the bottom row is data obtained 57 min after ferumoxytol administration (SUV 0.535). PET raw data is identical in both instances; however, attenuation correction has been performed with the mu-map on the left of each PET dataset. Please note the significant liver area misclassification at the 57-min time point (signal drop due to high liver iron content).
