A whole-body PET/CT scan was performed from head to thigh, 60 min after intravenous administration of approximately 370 MBq (± 10%) of 18F-FDG on a PET/CT Discovery scanner (GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences Corp.). The patient was placed in the supine position, with the same immobilization system as in the radiotherapy treatment delivery. Other parameters included a 70 cm axial FOV, a 218 × 218 matrix. Data was acquired in a 3-D mode. The pixel spacing was 5.47 mm with a slice thickness of 3.27 mm. The spatial resolution varied from 3.99 mm to 4.56 mm. PET images were corrected using the specific software of the equipment for attenuation, scatter, decay, dead time, random coincidences, and slice sensitivity.
Pet ct discovery scanner
Manufactured by GE Healthcare
The PET/CT Discovery scanner is a medical imaging device that combines positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) imaging technologies. It is designed to provide detailed information about the structure and function of the body, which can be used for a variety of medical applications.

Carbon-11 based Pittsburgh Compound-B for positron emission tomography (PiB-PET) based estimation of individual brain Aβ load (Mathis et al., 2003 (link); Klunk et al., 2004 (link); Solbach et al., 2005 (link)) was performed as reported earlier by our group at the PET Center of the Division of Nuclear Medicine, Zürich University Hospital utilizing a GE PET/CT Discovery scanner (Steininger et al., 2014 (link)). In brief, an individual dose of 350 MBq of (11)carbon-labeled PiB was injected into the cubital vein. Images were corrected for attenuation using a low-dose CT. Standard quantitative filtered back projection algorithm including necessary corrections was applied.
Cerebral amyloid deposition values were extracted using a standard routine as implemented in PMOD Brain Tool software-package (PNEURO, Version 3.4, PMOD Technologies Ltd, Zürich, Switzerland). Late frame (minutes 50–70) values were standardized by the cerebellar gray matter value, resulting in 3D-volumes of PiB-PET retention (matrix dimensions: 128 × 128 × 47, voxel size: 2.34 × 2.34 × 3.27 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.
