Fig. 6From: The effects of various penalty parameter values in Q.Clear algorithm for rectal cancer detection on 18F-FDG images using a BGO-based PET/CT scanner: a phantom and clinical studya The average SUVmax, b SNR, c SBR, d image contrast, and e noise within the uniform liver area for two categories of lesion sizes (small and large) in a medical research using 18F-FDG. The reconstruction methods used were OSEM and Q.Clear, with β values ranging from 100 to 500 in increments of 100. Dotted lines link the median values. Note that the values depicted in the graphs correspond to the p values derived from the paired t test conducted between the two reconstruction techniquesBack to article page
