Results are summarized on a report page and can be exported to local PACS system as a DICOM image. Parametric images can likewise be exported as DICOM images for documentation or subsequent fusion with CT angiogram.
Historically, the analysis of 15O-water was challenging due to high noise levels and low contrast. The introduction of PET/CT has greatly improved image quality, enabling a routine use of 15O-water. However, the low contrast remains, complicating analysis. Analyzing 15O-water therefore requires a different approach than normal: we first need to generate contrast.
