Low-dose and standard-dose whole-body [18F]FDG-PET/CT imaging: implications for healthy controls and lung cancer patients

Aim: High-sensitivity hybrid positron emission tomography (PET) imaging using advanced whole-body (WB) or total-body PET/computed tomography (CT) systems permits reducing injected tracer activity while preserving diagnostic quality. Such approaches are promising for healthy control studies or explor...
