Acquisition
- Use gammacamera with paralell high resolution low energy collimator for imaging.
- At 24 h and 48 h, obtain whole body images at 10 cm/min speed table.
- Complete with planar spot views 5-10 min counts in areas of interest. Spect acquisition is recommended at 24 h.
- After injecting 99mTc-DTPA get dual window acquisition to better localize the kidneys and adrenal glands.
