Thoracic tumor volume delineation in 4D-PET/CT by low dose interpolated CT for attenuation correction.

PURPOSE: 4D-PET/CT imaging is an excellent solution for reducing the breathing-induced effects in both CT and PET images. In 4D-PET/CT, 4D-CT images are selected to match those of 4D-PET phase by phase and the corresponding phases are used for attenuation correction in 4D-PET. However, the high radi...
