MIP (A&C) and transversal slice (B&D) PET images of a Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma patient who underwent FDG PET/CT for re-staging after chemotherapy. Two retroperitoneal lymphoma manifestations were detected in both reduced (orange) and full (green) acquisition time PET images. For the cranial lesion (solid arrows), SUVmax was 31.7 (34.6) for the reduced and 29.2 (31.8) for the full acquisition time images using OSEM-TOF (OSEM-TOF+PSF) image reconstruction. For the caudal lesion (dashed arrows), SUVmax was 32.7 (36.2) for the reduced and 31.3 (34.7) for the full acquisition time images using OSEM-TOF (OSEM-TOF+PSF) image reconstruction. Of note, differences in kidney activity distribution (urine activity) are caused by slightly different time-points of PET imaging
