Background and Purpose2-[18F] fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography (static PET) has mixed specificity and sensitivity in targeting epileptic zones in the noninvasive stage of epilepsy surgery evaluations. We compared the signal quality of static PET compared to a method of interictal dynamic PET (iD-PET). Materials and MethodsWe calculated the signal quality of static PET and iD-PET obtained from a cohort of patients with focal epilepsy. We developed a Bayesian regional estimated signal quality (BRESQ) technique to objectively compare signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) by region of interest (ROI) within subjects. ResultsAdjusted for ROI size and neighboring regions, iDPET was superior to sPET with probability >95% in 8/36 regions; >90% in 21/36 regions; >80% in 29/36 regions. The top five regions with the largest adjusted SNR differences (greatest magnitude of iDPET superiority) were the Temporal Mesial (Left and Right), Occipital Lateral (Left and Right), and the Left Frontal Inferior Base. ConclusionsWe found that iDPET yielded a superior SNR in most ROI. BRESQ offers a scalable and generalizable method to quantify signal quality between brain mapping modalities.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
