CT and MRI scans of the neck, chest, abdomen, and pelvis were performed as previously described [13 (link)]. All 22 patients underwent ⁶⁸Ga-DOTATATE and ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT, and CT/MRI. In addition, 12 patients also underwent ¹⁸F-FDOPA PET/CT and 11 underwent ¹⁸F-FDA PET/CT. All imaging studies were performed within a median of 8.5 days.
PET/CT scans from the upper thighs to the skull were performed 60 min, 60 min, 30 min, and approximately 8 min after intravenous injection of ⁶⁸Ga-DOTATATE, ¹⁸F-FDG, ¹⁸F-FDOPA, and ¹⁸F-FDA at mean administered activities of 191.4±8.3 MBq, 316.5±59.4 MBq, 466.3±13.0 MBq, and 39.3 ± 0.7 MBq, respectively. Carbidopa (200 mg) was administered orally 60 min before each ¹⁸F-FDOPA scan [23 (link)]. All PET/CT scans were performed on a Siemens Biograph-mCT 64 scanner and a Biograph-mCT 128 PET/CT scanner (Siemens Medical Solutions). PET images were reconstructed using an iterative algorithm provided by the manufacturer, also utilizing point spread function and time of flight. Low-dose CT scans for attenuation correction and anatomical coregistration were performed without administration of contrast agent and were used for anatomical localization.

18F-FAPI PET/CT Imaging Protocol

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

The patients were not specially prepped on the day of ¹⁸ F-FAPI PET/CT scanning. A Biograph mCT-64 scanner (Siemens, Germany) was used. The scanning was performed about 60 min after intravenous injection of ¹⁸ F-FAPI (0.12 millicurie/kg). The localizer was positioned with a scout head view. Low-dose CT (120 kV/110 mA) was then performed for anatomical localization and attenuation correction. Single-bed emission scans were obtained in 3-dimensional mode (acquisition time, 3 min). Reconstruction of data was done using an ordered subset expectation maximization iterative reconstruction algorithm (three iterations, 21 subsets). The emission data were corrected for random, scatter, and decay.

¹⁸F-FDG was administered at a dose of 5.18 MBq/kg after at least 4–6 h of fasting. PET/CT scans from the skull to the proximal thigh were acquired about 60 min after injection using a Biograph mCT-64 scanner (Siemens). When metastasis was suspected to involve the extremities, imaging from the vertex to the toes including the arms was performed. Chloral hydrate sedation (50 mg/kg) was used 30 min before scanning for children unable to follow instructions. PET images were reconstructed using 3D ordered subset expectation maximization (3 iterations, 24 subsets). CT scans were acquired with 100-kV tube voltage, automated tube current modulation, 3-mm slice thickness, and a pitch of 1.5.

¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT examinations were performed using a Biograph mCT-64 scanner (Siemens/CTI, Knoxville, TN) in a state of thyroid hormone withdrawal (above 30 mIU/L) before RAI treatment. Before the examination, patients fasted for at least six hours to ensure a serum glucose concentration of less than 150 mg/dL. Patients were injected intravenously with 5.55 MBq/kg of ¹⁸F-FDG, and no intravenous or oral contrast agents were administered. Sixty minutes later, patients were scanned with a whole-body, three-dimensional PET/CT scan from the base of the skull to the mid-thigh. The acquisition consisted of a CT scan (120 kV; 300 mAs; slice thickness, 3 mm; pitch, 1.5) for the purpose of attenuation correction for anatomical co-registration of PET data, followed by three-dimensional emission imaging for two minutes per bed position. The standard uptake value (SUV) of BMs was obtained.

Brain ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT imaging was performed according to the routine institutional procedures. In brief, all patients fasted from food and sugary drinks for at least 4 h prior to intravenous injection of approximately 25–185 MBq ¹⁸F-FDG based on 3.7 MBq/kg body weight. All patients rested in a quiet and dim room before and after injection. About 50 min following injection, a brain PET/CT scanning was performed for 10 min on a Biograph mCT-64 scanner (Siemens, Erlangen, Germany).

According to the guidelines of the European Association of nuclear medicine (EANM), all patients underwent whole-body ¹⁸F-FDG positron emission tomography on Siemens Biograph-64 mCT scanner. All patients fasted for at least 6 h before acquisition, and the blood glucose levels were controlled below 150mg/dL. FDG-PET/CT was performed 60 min (60 ± 3 min) after injection of 3.7–5.55 MBq ¹⁸F-FDG per kg of body weight. PET image reconstruction with a 3-dimensional (3D) ordered-subset expectation maximization (OSEM) algorithm: 3 iterations, 24 subsets; 2.75 mm × 3.12 mm× 3.12 mm voxel size. The field of view (FOV) was 700 mm. Before PET scanning, CT was performed with attenuation correction methods to obtain image with matrix size of 512 × 512 (80 Ma, 120 kV). PET and CT results were reviewed on the workstation to display the fused image frame by frame. Then, the positron emission tomography image (voxel size 3.12 mm, slice thickness 2.75 mm) was interpolated to the same resolution as the computed tomography image (voxel size 0.98 mm, slice thickness 2 mm) (Supplementary Materials Table S1).

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.
