Dopaminergic Imaging in Parkinson's Disease

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Thirty subjects (63.6 ± 4.2 years old) with 15 PD patients (64.2 ± 4.5 years old, 7 female, 8 male) and 15 health controls (62.9 ± 3.8 years old, 6 female, 9 male) were scanned both on MRI and PET scanners. MRI data were collected on the same 3.0 T GE 750 Medical Systems and PET images were acquired using a Siemens Biograph 64 PET/CT scanner (Siemens, Munich, Germany) in 3D mode. A CT transmission scan was first performed for attenuation correction. For dopaminergic imaging, the distribution of dopamine transporter was measured 60 min after the intravenous injection of 370 MBq of 11C‐CFT and lasted for 15 min. The image volume consisted of 148 axial images, with a matrix size of 168 × 168 covering a FOV of 342 × 342 mm2.

Prostate Cancer Staging and Restaging with 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A total of 764 patients (mean age, 68 y; range, 48-85) who had undergone 68 Ga-PSMA PET/CT from 2013 to 2016 for known PC (73 for staging and 691 for restaging) were included. This single-center retrospective study was approved by the Institutional Human Research Ethics Committee, with a waiver of informed consent of patients who had been scanned for clinical indications. 68 Ga-PSMA PET/CT Image Acquisition and Protocol 68 Ga was eluted from a 68 Ga/ 68 Ge generator (Isotope Technology Group) and compounded with hydroxybenzylethylenediamine diacetic acid (HBED)-PSMA11 (Advanced Biochemical Compounds). PET images were acquired approximately 60 min (range, 40-85) after injection of 68 Ga-HBED-PSMA11 at 2 MBq/kg (166 MBq; range, 91-246). Acquisition was performed on a GE Discovery PET/CT 690 or 710 scanner (GE Healthcare) or a Siemens Biograph 64 PET/CT scanner (Siemens Healthcare). CT was performed either with a low-dose noncontrast technique (old protocol) or 10 min (range, [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] after intravenous injection of 50 mL of iohexol (Omnipaque [GE Healthcare]; 300 g/mL) contrast medium for optimal ureteral enhancement (new protocol as of mid-2015).

PET/CT Imaging Protocol for FDG Uptake

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PET/CT imaging was performed using a Biograph 64 PET/CT scanner (Siemens AG, Munich, Germany). Prior to 18F-FDG PET/CT, all patients were instructed not to eat for ≥6 h to maintain their serum glucose levels at <11.1 mmol/l prior to injection. Image acquisition started ~1 h (mean, 56±2 min; range, 50–60 min) following intravenous injection of FDG (3.7 megabecquerel/kg). The lowest possible milliampere setting on the scanner was used to acquire the CT scans for attenuation correction. The whole-body CT imaging was performed from the skull to the upper part of the thigh with 120 kV, 0.5 sec rotation, 3 mm slice thickness and 0.8 mm intervals. The PET scans were obtained immediately following the whole-body CT scan, including 5–7 bed positions (1.5 min acquisition time per bed position) over the same range as the CT scan. Prior to PET/CT imaging, the serum thyrotropin (TSH) levels of patients were maintained at 30 mU/l.

18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT Imaging Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All patients gave written informed consent to undergo 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT. A median activity of 246 MBq (209–294 MBq) 18F-PSMA-1007 was injected intravenously in line with previously reported radiosynthesis and administration procedures [19 (link)]. Additionally, the patients were simultaneously premedicated with furosemide (20 mg) if no contraindication was given [20 (link)]. The radiopharmaceutical was used on an individual patient basis according to the German Pharmaceuticals Act §13(2b). PET was performed from the skull base to the mid-thigh using a Biograph 64 PET/CT scanner or a Biograph mCT scanner (Siemens Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany) 60 min after tracer injection PET/CT, and included a diagnostic, contrast-enhanced CT scan in a portal-venous phase (Imeron 350; 1.5 mL/kg body weight; Bracco Imaging, Milano, Italy). PET was acquired with 2.5 min per bed position and reconstructed iteratively using TrueX (three iterations, 21 subsets) with Gaussian post-reconstruction smoothing (2 mm full width at half-maximum).

The patients prepared by fasting for at least 4 hours and controlling a blood glucose level of less than 8 mmol/L before an intravenous administration of 18F‐FDG (0.1–0.2 mCi/kg). The 18F‐FDG PET/CT was performed in a three‐dimensional mode with a scanning range from the skull base to the symphysis pubis using a Siemens Biograph 64 PET/CT scanner 60 min after injection. A low‐dose CT scan was acquired for attenuation and scatter correction and colocalization of radiologically equivalent interpretation.

The study included a total of 500 patients (287 males and 213 females, age 61.3 ± 17.0 years [mean ± SD]) who underwent a whole-body FDG-PET examination for the screening of malignant tumors between January and May 2016 at our institute. All MIP images were acquired using either a GEMINI TF64 PET-CT scanner (Philips Healthcare, Cleveland, OH, USA), or a Biograph64 PET-CT scanner (Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen, Germany).

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.
