Table 2.
Mean RSD of the RCs for each reconstruction protocol and across all protocols
| Reconstruction protocol | Mean RSD with SUV max (%) | Mean RSD with SUV peak (%) | Mean RSD with SUV ref (%) | Mean RSD with SUV ref,peak (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OSEM | 2.81 | 1.59 | 2.28 | 1.46 |
| PSF | 3.25 | 1.80 | 2.00 | 1.49 |
| TOF1 | 4.69 | 2.32 | 2.58 | 1.70 |
| TOF2 | 5.70 | 2.51 | 2.68 | 1.72 |
| All protocols | 13.60 | 7.75 | 2.85 | 1.72 |
Mean RSD of the RCs for the 15 repeats per reconstruction protocol and across all reconstruction protocols for SUVmax, SUVref and SUVpeak. Reduction in RSD with both SUVref and SUVpeak for all intra-reconstruction protocol comparisons, in addition to across all protocols, was significant (P < 0.01 with paired two-tailed Student's t-test).
