Excerpt

Everyone is beginning to understand the importance of quantification for use in Medicine, particularly Molecular Imaging. With the recent introduction of mandates by CMS, ASNC and the SNMMI for Quantification, it is not surprising that papers are being published on the topic. One recent publication by Zhao et al1 demonstrates that there may be misunderstandings regarding modern molecular imaging. …
