Correlation between respiration-induced thoracic expansion and a shift of central structures

The fusion of computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET) may improve diagnostic accuracy, but is limited by different breathing protocols. This study aimed at quantifying respiration-induced alignment errors. PET-CT was acquired in 24 patients. Contrast-enhanced whole-body CT wa...
