Low-dose 18F-FDG TOF-PET/MR for accurate quantification of brown adipose tissue in healthy volunteers

Abstract Background Positron emission tomography (PET) is increasingly applied for in vivo brown adipose tissue (BAT) research in healthy volunteers. To limit the radiation exposure, the injected 18F-FDG tracer dose should be as low as possible. With simultaneous PET/MR imaging, the radiation exposu...
