Effective Methods to Correct Contrast Agent-Induced Errors in PET Quantification in Cardiac PET/CT

In combined PET/CT studies, x-ray attenuation information from the CT scan is generally used for PET attenuation correction. Iodine-containing contrast agents may induce artifacts in the CT-generated attenuation map and lead to an erroneous radioactivity distribution on the corrected PET images. Thi...
