Comparison of Conventional and Radiomic Features between 18F-FBPA PET/CT and PET/MR.

ABSTRACT: Boron-10-containing positron emission tomography (PET) radio-tracer, 18F-FBPA, has been used to evaluate the feasibility and treatment outcomes of Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). The clinical use of PET/MR is increasing and reveals its benefit in certain applications. However, the PET/CT is still the most widely used modality for daily PET practice due to its high quantitative accuracy and relatively low cost. Considering the different attenuation correction maps between PET/CT and PET/MR, comparison of derived image features from these two modalities is critical to identify quantitative imaging biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the comparability of image features extracted from 18F-FBPA PET/CT and PET/MR. A total of 15 patients with malignant br
