Assessment of errors caused by X-ray scatter and use of contrast medium when using CT-based attenuation correction in PET.

abstract：PURPOSE:The molecular imaging of tumour neoangiogenesis currently represents a major field of research for the diagnostic and treatment strategy of solid tumours. Endothelial cells from tumour neovessels overexpress the alpha(v)beta(3) integrin, which selectively binds to Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)-containing peptides. We evalu...
