68Ga-PSMA-617 PET/CT was performed on Biograph 40 PET/CT scanner (Siemens, Germany), 68Ge/68Ga-generator was from ITG company (Germany), and PSMA-617 ligand was from ABX company (Germany). 68Ga-PSMA-617 was prepared according to a previously published method17 (link) with a radiochemical purity of > 95%. The 68Ga-PSMA-617 prepared was administered via elbow vein injection at a dose of 3–5 mCi. Whole-body PET scans were acquired approximately 60 min after tracer injection. No adverse or clinically detectable pharmacological effects were observed in any of the enrolled patients.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
[18F]HX4 was produced as described in previous publications [9 (link), 16 (link)–18 (link)]. After intravenous administration of an average (±SD) dose of 378 ± 84 MBq [18F]HX4, PET/CT imaging was performed at 1.5, 3, and 4 h post-injection (p.i.) for 15, 15, and 20 min, respectively, for a single bed position centred around the primary tumour. After ten patients, an interim analysis showed highest contrast at the imaging time-point at 4 h p.i., and this was used from then onwards.
[18F]HX4 PET/CT scans were acquired before the start of external beam radiotherapy and during the radiation treatment; after an average (±SD) dose of 21 ± 2 Gy using a Biograph 40 PET/CT scanner (Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen, Germany). Scatter and attenuation corrections were applied, PET images were reconstructed using OSEM 2D (Ordered Subset Expectation Maximization, four iterations, eight subsets) and a Gaussian filter of 5 mm. Imaging was performed in radiotherapy position, with the patient positioned on a flat table top using an immobilization mask and a movable laser alignment system.

Detailed Imaging Protocols for GAAIN and Knight ADRC Cohorts

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The imaging protocols for the GAAIN dataset have been described previously (Klunk et al., 2015 ). The PiB PET from the GAAIN dataset includes PET images acquired within the 50–70 min post-injection window at a minimum. The GAAIN_SUB dataset had full dynamic multi-frame PET imaging data acquired between 0 and 70 min after injection of PiB. T1-weighted MRI was also available to provide anatomical information and facilitate PET quantification.
For the Knight ADRC cohort, dynamic PET imaging was conducted for 1 h with a Siemens/CTI EXACT HR+ scanner or a Biograph 40 PET/CT scanner (Siemens Medical Solutions, Erlangen, Germany) in three-dimensional mode after intravenous administration of approximately 12 mCi of PiB. Anatomic MRI was acquired with a T1-weighted magnetization-prepared rapid gradient echo (MPRAGE) sequence using a Siemens 1.5 T or 3 T scanner.

Tau-PET imaging was performed within 13 months (mean 44.0 days, range: 1–373 days) of the beta-amyloid-PET imaging session using 18F-AV-1451 (flortaucipir). Participants received a single 6.5–10 mCi intravenous bolus of flortaucipir infused over 20 seconds. Data were processed using an ROI approach using FreeSurfer and, as done in prior work using 18F-AV-1451 (Brier et al., 2016 ; Chien et al., 2013 (link); Day et al., 2017 (link); Gordon et al., 2016 (link); Johnson et al., 2016 (link); Wang et al., 2016 (link)), and data from the 80- to 100-minute postinjection window were examined. Scans were acquired on a Siemens Biograph 40 PET/CT scanner. As described previously, in each ROI, data were converted to SUVRs using the cerebellar gray as the reference region and partial volume corrected using a regional spread function approach (Rousset et al., 1998 (link); Su et al., 2015 (link), 2016 (link)). This partial volume correction method, including nonbrain region sampling, may additionally help minimize off-target binding. Tau-PET SUVRs for each cortical and subcortical ROI were extracted and averaged together from the left and right hemispheres to form 1 bilateral measure. The average amount of time between clinical assessment and tau-PET imaging session was 103 ± 57 days, and the average time between beta-amyloid-PET and tau-PET imaging sessions was 82 ± 84 days.

Multimodal Neuroimaging Acquisition Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Each participant underwent two separate imaging sessions within 2 weeks from each other. 18F-Florbetapir scan was performed on a Biograph mMR PET/MR hybrid scanner (mMR) (Siemens, Erlangen, Germany) with approximately 370 MBq of tracer. Emission data was collected in listmode either starting at tracer injection for 70 minutes, or starting 50 minutes post injection for 20 minutes. The standard Dixon sequence on the scanner was collected at the beginning of scan for MR based attenuation correction (8 (link)). T1 weighted images were acquired using a sagittal magnetization-prepared rapid gradient echo (MPRAGE) sequence with the following imaging parameters: Repetition Time (TR)/Echo Time (TE) = 2300/2.95 msec, TI = 900 msec, flip angle = 9°, and a voxel size of 1.1×1.1×1.2 mm. PiB scan was performed on a Biograph 40 PET/CT scanner (Siemens, Erlangen, Germany) with approximately 444 MBq of tracer with CT based attenuation correction. Only the CT portion of the PiB scan was used in this work. CT images of the head were acquired at 120 keV, 25 effective mAs with a voxel size of 0.59×0.59×3.0 mm and a matrix size of 512×512×74.

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.
