Full-body and skull-to-thigh PET/CT scans reviewed from datasets available from The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA). Of the reviewed scans, the number of scans classified as suspected to have clothing present (apparent pants) and the number of scans with pants causing noticeable displacement of tissues are displayed; each are quantified across any location, as well as specifically at the level of the third lumbar vertebrae (L3).
