An automated voxel-based method for calculating the reference value for a brain tumour metabolic index using (18)F-FDG-PET and (11)C-methionine PET

OBJECTIVE: The tumour-to-normal ratio (T/N) is a representative index reflecting brain tumour activity by (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and (11)C-methionine (MET) PET. We proposed a new automated method of calculating the normal reference value (N-value) for use as the denomination of T/N. This met...
