Are nuclear medicine images quantified in 2D and 3D equally functional? (original) (raw)

This paper investigates the functional equivalence of nuclear medicine images quantified in two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) formats. The authors discuss the enduring relevance of planar imaging methods despite the growth of SPECT technologies, emphasizing the efficacy of traditional quantitation techniques in clinical practice. The research also explores advancements in virtual planar imaging and the potential future integration of artificial intelligence to enhance quantitative analyses in nuclear medicine.
