VOI settings with and without the CSF-mask algorithm in a DLB case. a The VOI setting without the CSF-mask algorithm and b the VOI setting with the CSF-mask algorithm, where CSF-low-count areas are eliminated (regions encompassed by the red line). SBR indices calculated without the CSF-mask algorithm were 4.77 (R) and 4.72 (L) (a), while those calculated with the CSF-mask were 3.51 (R) and 3.50 (L) (b). The subtle diffuse reduction of tracer uptake in the bilateral striatum is correctly evaluated using the CSF-mask algorithm.
