We present a clinical evaluation of the quantitative bias which is introduced during simultaneous emission/transmission (SET) acquisition for the application of whole-body positron emission tomography (PET) with fluorine-18 2-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose. The quantitative accuracy of the SET technique was assessed by means of a clinical study involving...
