All scans were performed according to the EANM procedure guideline for FDG-PET/CT studies [13 (link)]. Patients fasted for at least 6 h before the study. The blood glucose was checked to be less than 11 mmol/l before the injection of 3 MBq/kg 18F-FDG. PET images were acquired on a research 4 Life (EARL)-accredited integrated PET/CT camera system (Biograph mCT 64 slice PET/CT, Siemens, Knoxville, TN, USA) approximately 1 h after injection of the FDG. Patients were imaged from mid-thigh to vertex of the skull with 3 min per bed position. Low-dose CT was performed for attenuation correction and anatomical localization with the following settings: tube voltage reference 100 kV (adjusted to 80–140Kv as per departmental protocol) with Siemens CarekV switched on, gantry rotation time of 0.5 s, pitch factor of 1, automated exposure control switched on during all acquisitions (Siemens CARE Dose4D), with a quality reference tube-current product of 30mAs (adjusted to 20–50mAs as per departmental protocol). CT images were not enhanced with contrast.

Patients fasted for a minimum of 6 hours, and blood glucose concentrations were ensured to be less than 11 mmol/L before 3 MBq FDG/kg body weight was administered intravenously. When there was a clinical suspicion for infective endocarditis, patients were also prepared with a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet for at least 24 hours. Approximately 60 minutes after FDG administration, PET scanning was performed using an integrated PET/CT system (Biograph mCT 64 slice PET/CT; Siemens, Knoxville, TN) with 3 minutes per bed position. Low-dose CT was performed for attenuation correction and anatomic mapping with 100 kV and 30 mAs. Data acquisition and reconstruction were in accordance with European Association of Nuclear Medicine/Research 4 Life guidelines. 15 In 37 patients, concomitant full-dose CT of the abdomen was performed with a constant tube potential of 100 or 120 kV and automatic adjustment of mAs in the z-direction.
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.
