PET imaging studies were performed on a Biograph TrueV (Siemens Medical Solutions). 18F-FDG injection was preceded by a 6-h fasting period and a 15-min rest in a warm room. Patients were scanned 60 min after 18F-FDG injection from the skull base to the mid-thighs (2 min 40 s per bed position for normal-weight patients (BMI ≤ 25 kg/m2) and 3 min and 40 s per bed position for patients with BMI > 25 kg/m2). Images were reconstructed using a point spread function (PSF) algorithm (HD; TrueX, Siemens Medical Solutions, 3 iterations and 21 subsets) with no post-filtering (PSFWholeBody) and a 1682 matrix size leading to a voxel size of 4.1 × 4.1 × 5.0 mm. A complementary high-resolution (HR) breast dedicated bed position (6 min per bed position) was performed just after the completion of the skull base to the mid-thighs acquisition. Images were reconstructed using the same protocol as above (PSFbreast) and an ordered subset expectation maximization (OSEM) algorithm (four iterations, eight subsets) with a Gaussian post-filtering of 5 mm (OSEMbreast) with a 5122 matrix size leading to voxels of 1.3 × 1.3 × 1.9 mm. Scatter and attenuation corrections were applied for both acquisitions.

PET Imaging of Melanoma Patients

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Patient preparation in the PET unit and PET acquisition and reconstructions was performed as per the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) guidelines for PET tumor imaging [18 (link)], our PET unit being EANM research Ltd. (EARL) accredited since 2015 [19 (link),20 (link)]. 18F-FDG was injected after the glucose level had been checked to be <200 mg/dL in patients who had been fasting for at least 4 h. Patients were provisionally scanned 60 min after the tracer injection. They were scanned from the base of the skull to mid-thigh with the arms on their sides for upper limb melanoma patients, or whole-body scanned for patients with primary melanoma of the lower limb or in patients with known distal subcutaneous metastases.
Two different PET/CT scanners were used: a Vereos system (Philips Medical Systems. Cleveland OH) and a Biograph TrueV with extended field-of-view (Siemens Medical Solutions, Erlangen, Germany). Details regarding acquisition and reconstruction parameters can be found elsewhere [21 (link)].

Eleven PET/CT scanners were used for the robustness study: n. 2 Discovery ST (S1, S2) [17 (link)], n. 1 Discovery STE (S3) [18 (link)], n. 2 Discovery 600 (S4, S5) [19 (link)], and n. 1 Discovery 690 (S6) [20 (link)] (GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, WI), n. 1 Biograph HI-REZ (S7) [21 (link)] and n. 1 Biograph TRUEV (S8) [22 (link)] (SIEMENS Medical Solutions, Knoxville, TN), n. 1 Gemini XL (S9) and n. 2 Gemini TF (S10, S11) [23 (link)] (Philips Medical Systems, Cleveland, OH). The technical characteristics and physical performances of the PET/CT scanners were derived from factory data and/or previous publications and are reported in Table 1.

PET/CT Imaging Protocol for Head and Neck Cancer

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PET/CT acquisitions were performed using a PET/CT scanner (Biograph TrueV, Siemens Medical Solutions) with a six-slice spiral CT component and an extended field-of-view of 21.6 cm. Patients were asked to fast for ≥ 6 h before 18FDG injection (4.0 ± 0.2 MBq per kg). Blood glucose level was 6.0 ± 1.7 mmol/l. WB PET/CT images were performed 58 ± 3 min post injection from mid-thigh to the base of the skull with an acquisition time per bed position of 2 min and 40 s in patients of low and average weight (i.e. body mass index [BMI] < 25 kg/m2) or 3 min and 40 s in overweight patients (i.e. BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2). HN PET was performed either immediately after the WB acquisition and patient repositioning (3 ± 2 min between WB and HN PET, 14 patients) or after the WB acquisition of the next-scheduled patient (18 ± 5 min between WB and HN PET, 7 patients). HN PET/CT data sets were acquired in list-mode (LM) using a single-bed position of 10 min from the base of the skull to the superior mediastinum. All patients were repositioned with arms along the chest. A low-dose CT scan was acquired prior to HN PET/CT with the same longitudinal field of view. CT parameters were set to 100 mAs and 130 kV, slice thickness of 2.5 mm and pitch 1.

PET Imaging Protocol for Fasting Patients with Bodyweight Adjustment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After a 15-min rest in a warm room, patients who had been fasting for 6 h were injected with 18F–FDG. The injected activity, capillary blood glucose level at injection time and the delay between injection and the start of the acquisition, height and body weight were recorded (acquisition parameters were extracted from the DICOM headers). Body Mass Index (BMI) was calculated as follows: BMI=body weightkgheight2m2
All PET imaging studies were performed on a Biograph TrueV (Siemens Medical Solutions) with a 6-slice spiral CT component. Technical details regarding this system can be found elsewhere [9 (link)]. CT acquisition was performed first, with the following parameters: 60 mAs, 130 kV, pitch 1 and 6 × 2 mm collimation. Subsequently, the PET emission acquisition was performed in 3-D mode. Patients were scanned from the skull base to the mid-thighs, with time per bed acquisitions of 160 and 220 s for normal weight (BMI <25 kg/m2) and overweight patients (BMI ≥25 kg/m2), respectively.
Raw data were reconstructed with a PSF reconstruction algorithm (HD; TrueX, Siemens Medical Solution) with three iterations and 21 subsets and without filtering. Matrix size was 168 × 168, resulting in a 4.07 × 4.07 × 4.07 mm voxel size. Scatter and attenuation corrections were applied based on the CT scan.

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.
