title: [Technical Approaches for Quantitative Treatment Responses Using 18F-FDG PET].
abstract: Quantitative assessment of 18F-FDG PET can predict treatment responses or outcomes. Here, I briefly describe some world trends in standardizing PET images for image-based assessments of treatment responses, followed by present and future strategies for defining the optimal acquisition conditions for quantitative PET imaging. Finally, information is provided about new technical approaches to improving the quantitation of semi-quantitative indexes such as point spread function, time-of-flight and respiratory gating.
