Excerpt

Mok et al in, “Interpolated Average CT for Cardiac PET/CT Attenuation Correction, present a novel technique for reducing the radiation dose for patients undergoing cardiac PET/CT”. According to the authors, this technique differs from many in the past by achieving a remarkable 81% reduction in the CT radiation dose when compared to helical CT, while reducing breathing artifacts in the attenuation corrected PET images. Of course, the diagnostic usefulness of the CT images is reduced and the authors’ technique as presented required additional acquisition steps and equipment. This work should be commended for recognizing image quality and reducing radiation dose should not be considered at odds with one another. …
