Conditions
Brief summary
Reducing injected dose and/or acquisition time in amyloid PET imaging would improve comfort, radiation safety and cost-effectiveness in diagnosis and follow-up of patients. This study evaluates the impact of a deep learning-based noise reduction algorithm on visual analysis and Centiloid quantification when simulating reduced injected doses of \[18F\]flutemetamol.

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluate the impact of a deep-learning noise reduction algorithm on visual analysis and centiloid quantification when simulating reduced injected doses of 18F-flutemetamol. | Day one | Visual analysis of the cerebral \[¹⁸F\]flutemetamol PET images will be performed by two nuclear medicine specialists in a blinded manner, with a third reader acting as an arbitrator in case of disagreement, according to routine diagnostic criteria. |
