In this study, we investigated the diagnostic performance of whole-body 18F-FDG imaging using a PET/MRI scanner with time-of-flight capability for low-dose clinical imaging of pediatric patients. In addition to clinically acquired image data using a dosing regimen of 3.7 MBq/kg, images from simulated low-dose regimens (1.9-0.41 MBq/kg) were evaluat...
