Acquisition
- Use gammacamera with paralell high resolution high energy collimator for imaging.
- At 72 h, obtain whole body images at 5 cm/min speed table.
- Complete with planar spot views 5-10 min counts in areas of interest. Spect acquisition is suggested in doubtful cases.
- After 99mTc-DTPA get dual window acquisition to better localize the adrenal glands.
