Does anyone have any experience or relevant references for the effect of
scan duration with FDG PET?
We have scans (of normal brains) at two conditions and looking for
regional differences in uptake between them. Conventionally we would
look at a static scan between 20 & 60 minutes after tracer injection but
we could look at any time up to 90 minutes.
What is the community's opinion on the pros & cons of a longer scanning
time (other than better stats)?
Thanks,
Joel
