Estimation of kidneys and urinary bladder doses based on the region of interest in 18Fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography examination: A preliminary study

Background: Kidneys and urinary bladder are common physiologic uptake sites of 18Fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) causing increased exposure of low energy ionizing radiation to these organs. Accurate measurement of organ dose is vital as 18F-FDG is directly exposed to the organs. Organ dose fro...
