摘要
Software-based metal artefact reduction (MAR) techniques are available to reduce artefacts from cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) in the CT data. The impact of disabling MAR techniques on quantification of 18F-FDG uptake around the CIED has not been examined. We consider the importance of enabling MAR in patients with suspected CIED infection to prevent inaccuracies in quantification of tissue tracer uptake on the attenuation-corrected PET images.
