PET-CT small lesion quantitation and three-dimensional visualization
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Positron Emission Tomography-Computerized Tomography (PET-CT) is a non-invasive molecular imaging technology that plays an important role in thoracic oncology. Currently, PET-CT images are used primarily for cancer staging by assessing the likelihood of malignancy and the likelihood for disease metastasis. More widespread adoption of this modality has been limited by its unreliability for characterizing small lesions affected by the partial volume effect. This dissertation focuses on several novel approaches for combined PET-CT image quantitation in the presence of partial volume effects and three-dimensional visualization to facilitate more accurate characterization of suspicious lung lesions.
