Respiratory Gating Enhances Imaging of Pulmonary Nodules and Measurement of Tracer Uptake in FDG PET/CT

The aim of this study was to evaluate prospectively the effects of respiratory gating during FDG PET/CT on the determination of lesion size and the measurement of tracer uptake in patients with pulmonary nodules in a clinical setting. Eighteen patients with known pulmonary nodules (nine women, nine...
