PET/CT Imaging During Radiotherapy

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For patients treated at the Centre Henri Becquerel, the per-therapeutic PET/CT was performed on a Biograph Sensation 16 Hi-Rez device (Siemens Medical Solutions, Erlangen, Germany), without time of flight system or image reconstruction algorithm incorporating point-spread function. Forty-six patients underwent their PET/CT on this device. They were unrolled in S1–3 monocentric clinical trials (39 patients), and in S4 (7 patients). As the PET/CT device corresponded to an old generation model, these patients were grouped into a database called Sold.
Patients who underwent their FDG PET/CT on a new generation of positron-emission tomograph came from S4 study. All the image reconstruction algorithms incorporated a point-spread function, while some of them used a time of flight system (ToF). They were grouped into a database called SNew (21 patients). The PET/CT models and their characteristics are listed in Appendix.
All 67 patients underwent a FDG PET/CT during the fifth week of radiation therapy. Protocols of acquisition and reconstruction followed EANM procedure guidelines [5 (link)], but they were inherent to each nuclear medicine department. On the other hand, they were the same for a given device.

FDG-PET/CT Imaging Protocol: Standardized Procedure

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The FDG-PET/CT data were acquired on a Biograph® Sensation 16 Hi-Rez device (Siemens Medical Solutions, IL, USA). Patients were required to fast for at least 6 hours before imaging. A total of 5 MBq/kg of FDG was injected after 20 min of rest. Sixty minutes later (±10 min), 6 to 8 bed positions per patient were acquired using a whole-body protocol (3 min per bed position). The PET images were reconstructed using Fourier rebinding and attenuation-weighted ordered subset expectation maximization algorithms. The images were corrected for random coincidences, scatter, and attenuation. Finally, the FDG-PET images were smoothed with a Gaussian filter (full width at half maximum = 5 mm). The reconstructed image voxel size was 4 × 4 × 2 mm3.

Standardized 18F-FDG PET/CT Imaging Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All the centers adhered to guidelines of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine for patient preparation and PET/CT acquisition. All patients were instructed to fast for at least 6 h before the injection of 4-5 MBq per kilogram of 18 F FDG, to ensure that serum glucose and endogenous serum insulin levels were low. Non-contrast-enhanced CT images were acquired before PET data acquisition. Whole-body PET was acquired sequentially using a dedicated PET/CT system. For the PET imaging, the emission data were acquired from the base of the skull to the proximal thigh with 3-3.5 min of acquisition per bed position. A Biograph Sensation 16 Hi-Rez (Siemens Medical Solution) or Gemini GXL or Gemini TOF (Philips) scanner was used by the 5 centers. All the devices used in this study followed a quality control program ensuring that the data were quantitatively correct (quarterly SUV verification). Four centers had obtained European Association of Nuclear Medicine Research Ltd. accreditation at the time of the study, and 1 was accredited according to the RTEP (Radiotherapy and PET) trial procedure (8) . The similarity of performances of the different equipment was confirmed with the analysis of the recovery curves obtained from their NEMA phantoms in terms of volume and contrast.

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.
