Dutch evaluate strategies for harmonization of PET/CT studies
PET quantification based on standardized uptake values (SUV) can be hampered by variability in imaging procedures between institutes participating in multicenter FDG PET/CT trials. To address the issue, researchers in the Netherlands have evaluated harmonization strategies that reduce SUV variability.

Patient positioning has major impact on proton therapy
Proton therapy treatment is very expensive. And due to the scarcity of centers, access is limited. Therefore, efficient patient throughput is of paramount importance. Italian and Swiss researchers believe that remote positioning of patients may offer the potential of increasing patient throughput by up to 20%.

Dedicated breast F-18 FDG PET/MRI exam pre- (A, D, G), mid- (B, E, H), and post-NAC (C, F, I) of a 41-year-old patient diagnosed with a triple negative (TN), grade 2, invasive carcinoma. The SUVmax values of the primary tumor were 14.68 pre-NAC, 1.69 mid-NAC, and 1.87 post-NAC, while SER values were 1.19, 0.52, and 0.63, respectively.
