Mathematical Model of Respiratory Distortions of a Pathological Focus During Visualization on PET/CT Images by M. N. Piatkevich, D. V. Korovko, E. V. Emelyanenko

“…Based on the experimentally established dependencies of the influence of the displacement value and the diameter of the object (sphere) under study on the value of the discrepancy between the visualized volume of the object under study, a mathematical model of respiratory distortions of the pathological lesion during visualization on PET/CT images has been developed, which allows for a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the influence of the patient’s respiratory movement on the geometric accuracy of pathological lesion visualization on PET/CT images with up to 98 % accuracy. …”
