Abstract
We propose a new methodology, reference Standardised Uptake Value (SUVref), for reducing the quantitative variation resulting from differences in reconstruction protocol. Such variation that is not directly addressed by the use of SUV or the recently proposed PERCIST can impede comparability between positron emission tomography (PET)/CT scans.Keywords
