Abstract

Breast PET imaging can be carried out by using dedicated breast PET (dbPET) scanners. These novel scanners consist of small ring detectors around of breast with the patient in prone position, thus facilitating breast elongation and providing higher sensitivity and better spatial resolution, which leads to a reduction of injected dose. In this work, we are aimed at studying the correlation between dbPET images and pathological studies
