The effect of reduced scan time on response assessment FDG-PET/CT imaging using Deauville score in patients with lymphoma.
Article in European journal of hybrid imaging, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purpose[
methodsTwenty patients diagnosed with HL/NHL referred to a response assessment FDG-PET/CT were included. PET scans were performed in list-mode with an acquisition time of 120 s per bed position(s/bp). From PET list-mode data images with full acquisition time of 120 s/bp and shorter acquisition times (90, 60, 45, and 30 s/bp) were reconstructed. All images were assessed by two specialists and assigned a DS. We estimated the possible savings when reducing scan time using a simplified model based on assumed values/costs for our hospital.
resultsThere were no significant changes in the visually assessed DS when reducing scan time to 90 s/bp, 60 s/bp, 45 s/bp, and 30 s/bp. Image quality of 90 s/bp images were rated equal to 120 s/bp images. Coefficient of variance values for 120 s/bp and 90 s/bp images was significantly < 15%. The estimated annual savings to the hospital when reducing scan time was 8000-16,000 €/scanner.
conclusionAcquisition time can be reduced to 90 s/bp in response assessment FDG-PET/CT without compromising Deauville score or image quality. Reducing acquisition time can reduce costs to the clinic.
