Acquisition

-  Use dual head camera and detectors with 511 KeV collimators.

- 45-60 min after administration of 18F-FDG, acquire spect images over 180°, from 45° RAO, in 32 steps, each frame lasting 50 seg.

- Separately or simultaneously obtain a perfusion spect study for comparison with metabolic images. (Thallium Spect or 99m Tc Sestamibi)
