Moody, J.B., Hiller, K.M., Lee, B.C. et al. Limitations of Rb-82 weight-adjusted dosing accuracy at low doses. J. Nucl. Cardiol. 24, 1395–1401 (2017).
Description:
This study evaluated the accuracy of rubidium-82 (Rb-82) weight-adjusted dosing for cardiac PET without recalibration of CardioGen-82.
Clinical Relevance:
Ensuring precise Rb-82 dosing is essential for accurate cardiac PET quantification, and this research highlights the need for corrections based on generator-reported residual activity to maintain dosing accuracy for low doses.
