We explored whether (1) arterial blood sampling is avoidable and (2) shorter scans are feasible. Methods For 20 existing [18F]GE-179 datasets, we generated (1) standardised uptake values (SUVs) over eight intervals; (2) volume of distribution (VT) images using population-based input functions (PBIFs), scaled using one parent plasma sample; and (3) VT images using three shortened datasets, using the original parent plasma input functions (ppIFs). Results Correlations with the original ppIF-derived 90-min VTs increased for later interval SUVs (maximal ρ = 0.78; 80–90 min). They were strong for PBIF-derived VTs (ρ = 0.90), but between-subject coefficient of variation increased. Correlations were very strong for the 60/70/80-min original ppIF-derived VTs (ρ = 0.97–1.00), which suffered regionally variant negative bias. Conclusions Where arterial blood sampling is available, reduction of scan duration to 60 min is feasible, but with negative bias. The performance of SUVs was more consistent across participants than PBIF-derived VTs. date: 2018-06-11 date_type: published publisher: SPRINGER HEIDELBERG official_url: https://doi.org/10.1186/s13550-018-0396-2 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Article verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1561753 doi: 10.1186/s13550-018-0396-2 lyricists_name: Duncan, John lyricists_name: Koepp, Matthias lyricists_id: JSDUN52 lyricists_id: MJKOE13 actors_name: Waragoda Vitharana, Nimal actors_id: NWARR44 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: EJNMMI Research volume: 8 article_number: 46 pages: 8 issn: 2191-219X citation: McGinnity, CJ; Barros, DAR; Trigg, W; Brooks, DJ; Hinz, R; Duncan, JS; Koepp, MJ; McGinnity, CJ; Barros, DAR; Trigg, W; Brooks, DJ; Hinz, R; Duncan, JS; Koepp, MJ; Hammers, A; - view fewer <#> (2018) Simplifying [F-18]GE-179 PET: are both arterial blood sampling and 90-min acquisitions essential?
