SUV-quantification of physiological lung tissue in an integrated PET/MR-system: Impact of lung density and bone tissue.
The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of lung density changes as well as bone proximity on the attenuation correction of lung standardized uptake values (SUVs).15 patients with mostly oncologic diseases were examined in 18F-FDG-PET/CT and subsequently in a fully integrated PET/MR sca...
