Contrast enhanced Dx CT for PET attenuation has negligible impact on SUV. Non-contrast low dose AC CT and contrast enhanced Dx CT were used to perform attenuation correction on 18F-FDG PET images from a 6 yo child being treated for Burkitt lymphoma. A representative PET image of the liver, fused to the accompanying Dx CT, shows multiple FDG-avid liver lesions. PET images obtained following attenuation correction using the non-contrast AC CT and the contrast enhanced Dx CT show negligible differences in SUV values (SUVmax/SUVmean) calculated for representative liver lesions
