Digital Reference Object
Updated: 21 June 2016
DRObrain Description
The PET Digital Reference Object for Brain FDG uptake (DRObrain) is a set of synthetically generated DICOM
image files of known voxel values for positron emission tomography (PET). The PET DRObrain was created by segmenting an MRI of a human brain and artificially assigning PET SUV uptake values of 1.67:1 (white:gray). Poisson noise was then added and a 6 mm FWHM Gaussian smoothing was then applied. Voxels are 1x1x1 mm cubic in a 256x256x256 PET image volume.
DISCLAIMER: This version of the DRObrain is a test version and not officially vetted and validated.
Representative axial views through the DRObrain image volume show the differential uptake in the Gray and White matter regions.
