| Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to determine if extended PET acquisition times in the pelvis during PET/MRI increase detection rates of potentially metastatic lymph nodes in patients with rectal cancer. Our study was approved by the institutional review board of the University of California, San Francisco. Twenty-two patients with biopsy-proven rectal cancer underwent imaging via simultaneous 3-T time-of-flight PET/MRI, with seven undergoing two separate PET/MRI examinations, for a total of 29 studies. Each examination included both a whole-body PET/MRI and a dedicated pelvic PET/MRI with both 3- and 15-minute PET acquisitions for the pelvis. Three radiologists interpreted each examination with PET only, MRI only, then combined PET and MRI examinations, using all available images. Additionally, the 3- and 15-minute PET acquisitions of the pelvis were reviewed separately by a single radiologist. A total of 94 lymph nodes were identified as abnormal on PET, all with MRI anatomic correlates. Of these, 37 (39.4%) were seen only on the dedicated 15-minute acquisition. Fifty-seven (60.6%) nodes measured 5 mm or less, including 29 (30.9%) seen only on the 15-minute acquisition. Thirty-one (33.0%) nodes measured 5.1-10 mm, including eight (25.8%) seen only on the 15-minute acquisition. Of the 17 subjects imaged for initial staging, 11 (64.7%) were upstaged as a result of the increased PET acquisition time (10 from N1 to N2 and one from N0 to N1). Longer PET acquisition times during PET/MRI for rectal cancer increases the number of FDG-avid lymph nodes detected without increasing scan time. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 22 September 2018.
All research outputs
#7,692,145
of 25,385,509 outputs
Outputs from American Journal of Roentgenology
#2,839
of 7,716 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#122,071
of 341,562 outputs
Outputs of similar age from American Journal of Roentgenology
#56
of 111 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,385,509 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 69th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 7,716 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.5. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 62% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 341,562 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 111 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
