Optimization of a dedicated protocol using a small-voxel PSF reconstruction for head-and-neck 18FDG PET/CT imaging in differentiated thyroid cancer

Abstract Background 18FDG PET/CT is crucial before neck surgery for nodal recurrence localization in iodine-refractory differentiated or poorly differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC/PDTC). A dedicated head-and-neck (HN) acquisition performed with a thin matrix and point-spread-function (PSF) modelling...
