Repeatability of brown adipose tissue measurements on FDG PET/CT following a simple cooling procedure for BAT activation.
Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT) is present in a significant number of adult humans and can be activated by exposure to cold. Measurement of active BAT presence, activity, and volume are desirable for determining the efficacy of potential treatments intended to activate BAT. The repeatability of 18F-fluor...
