18-F Choline Patient Acquisition Protocol
- Get a pelvis focal bed, 5 min after tracer injection.
- At 1 h, obtain whole body images from thigs to craneal vertex.
- In boths acquisitions, do first CeCT (transmission) and then PET (emission) images.
- Delayed spot beds in any additional location are optional to assess tracer concentration changes in lesions. Thus to have possible extra basis to distinguish inflammatory from tumoral condition.
