Abstract
This paper presents a novel scheme for Standardized Uptake Value (SUV) calculation in PET scans. The results are compared with the SUV taken from the well-known application software from GE healthcare. The performance of the scheme is evaluated by using the DICOM files taken from the widely used standard PET phantom scan. The comparison was performed with 2 different ROI sizes in 45 image slices and the Pearson's correlation is used. The results show that both systems are correlated significantly with 95% confidence. So the results ensure that his novel scheme for Standardized Uptake Value (SUV) calculation provides the correct SUV value. The strength of this scheme is that the interchangeability of the DICOM files can be done conveniently without the special application software from any vendors.
