The effect of reconstruction algorithms on semi-quantitative measurements in 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging.
Objective: This study was carried out to understand whether Q.Clear and ordered subset expectation maximization (OSEM), reconstruction algorithms used in fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) applications, and parameters such as time of flight (TOF) and point spread function (PSF) cause different results in semi-quantitative measurements.
Subjects and methods: Raw PET data of 264 patients who were referred to 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging with the purpose of evaluation of known or suspicious malignant disease were reconstructed separately with Q.Clear (GE Healthcare), a BPL, an OSEM algorithm, PSF (SharpIR®) and TOF (VUE Point FX®) methods. Each patient's liver, mediastinal blood pool, metabolic tumor volume (MTV), total lesion glycolysis (TLG), and standardized uptake values (SUV) (SUVmax, SUVmean, and SUVpeak) of a total of 264 lesions selected from the patients were performed.
Results: β350+ToF yielded higher measurement results than all other variables for all of the lesion SUVmax, lesion SUVmean, L/AP SUVmax, and L/AP SUVmean parameters. OSEM+ToF and OSEM+TOF+PSF algorithms yielded higher mean and median SUVmax values for the reference structures (liver and mediastinum) and for lesions SUVmax and SUVmean values were statistically significantly lower than the β350+ToF method. The method with the lowest mean value for the L/Liver SUVmax variable was OSEM+ToF 4iter16ss (mean=1.76), while the method with the highest mean value was β350+ToF (mean=2.26). β350+ToF was the reconstruction method with the highest ratios for L/AP SUVmax and SUVmean for both lesions below and above 1 cm. β350+ToF algorithm had also statistically significantly higher results for these variables compared to all other parameters in malignant lesions.
Conclusion: When comparing 18F-FDG PET/CT images, the use of different reconstruction algorithms may lead to misleading results, especially in the evaluation of response to treatment of malignancies.
期刊介绍：
The Hellenic Journal of Nuclear Medicine published by the Hellenic Society of
Nuclear Medicine in Thessaloniki, aims to contribute to research, to education and
cover the scientific and professional interests of physicians, in the field of nuclear
medicine and in medicine in general. The journal may publish papers of nuclear
medicine and also papers that refer to related subjects as dosimetry, computer science,
targeting of gene expression, radioimmunoassay, radiation protection, biology, cell
trafficking, related historical brief reviews and other related subjects. Original papers
are preferred. The journal may after special agreement publish supplements covering
important subjects, dully reviewed and subscripted separately.
