Mct flow pet ct scanner

Manufactured by Siemens

The MCT Flow PET/CT scanner is a medical imaging device designed for simultaneous positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) scanning. It is used for the acquisition of functional and anatomical data in a single examination.

Synthesis and PET/CT Imaging of 18F-FDG and 18F-FES

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The synthesis and quality control of 18F-FDG and 18F-FES were performed as reported in our previous study (15 (link)).
18F-FDG PET/CT imaging was done according to standard clinical procedures. All patients fasted for at least 6 h and had serum glucose levels less than 10 mmol/L before the intravenous injection of 18F-FDG (3.7–7.4 MBq/kg). The patients were kept lying comfortably in a quiet, dimly lit room before and after the tracer injection. About 1 h after tracer injection, the patients were administered 1 L of plain water orally and then scanned in the PET/CT (Siemens Biograph 16HR PET/CT or mCT Flow PET/CT scanner). About 222 MBq of 18F-FES was injected intravenously over 1–2 min. The scanning was initiated 1 h after administration of the tracer on the same PET/CT scanner as the 18F-FDG. The detail of PET/CT acquisition parameters were described as reported in prior studies (16 (link)).

Standardized 18F-FDG PET/CT Imaging Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

18F‐FDG was generated automatically by a cyclotron. Patients were asked to fast for 6 h or more before the exam, and the blood glucose was less than 10 mmol/L before the injection of 18F‐FDG (dose: 3.7 MBq/kg). Patients laid on a comfortable cushion in a quiet room during the injection.
PET/CT scans were acquired on a Siemens mCT Flow PET/CT scanner approximately 60 min after the injection. The coregistered images were displayed and confirmed on a workstation.

18F-florzolotau was prepared in Huashan Hospital using a nucleophilic substitution reaction followed by acid hydrolysis, utilizing with an 18F-multifunction synthesizer (Beijing PET Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing, China). APRINOIA Therapeutics Co., Ltd (Suzhou, China) provided the tosylate precursor required for the radiosynthesis.
PET images were acquired on a Siemens mCT Flow PET/CT scanner (Siemens, Erlangen, Germany) in 3-dimensional (3D) mode. A low-dose CT transmission scan was performed for attenuation correction. 18F-florzolotau was administered intravenously (370 MBq). 18F-florzolotau PET imaging was performed over a 20-minute acquisition time (90–110 minutes). The images were reconstructed using a 3D ordered-subset expectation maximization algorithm (6 iterations; 21 subsets; Gaussian filter, 3.5 mm; zoom, 2). The reconstructed images had a matrix size of 256 × 256 × 148 and an effective voxel size of 1.59 × 1.59 × 1.50 mm.
High-resolution T1-weighted images were acquired in a 3.0-T horizontal magnet (Discovery MR750; GE Medical Systems, Milwaukee, WI) using the following parameters: TE = 3.2 ms, TR = 8.2 ms, TI = 450 ms, flip angle = 12°, acquisition matrix = 256 × 256 × 152, and voxel size = 1 × 1 × 1 mm.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
