Multicenter Study

Diagnostic reference levels for 18 F-FDG whole body PET/CT procedures: Results from a survey of 12 centres in Australia and New Zealand.

The aim of this work is to report diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) for hybrid positron emission tomography and x-ray computed tomography (PET/CT) exams in Australia (AU) for Queensland (QLD) and Western Australia (WA) (AU QLD/WA) and New Zealand (NZ). ⋯ The current DRLs were proposed for AU QLD/WA and NZ for 18 F-FDG whole-body PET/CT examinations. Variations existed in the current practice of AU QLD/WA and NZ PET/CT examinations. There is a need to optimize the radiation doses delivered from PET/CT examinations.
