Feature Specific requirement Intensity-scale bar Show for each figure Indicate unit and upper and lower window settings Prefer absolute units: Use biologic parameters if available (e.g., rate constants, metabolic rates, binding potential) If not, use activity concentration (e.g., SUV, Bq/mL, %IA/cm3) Minimally, include relative units (e.g., percentage of maximum) Background subtraction Avoid If unavoidable, clearly indicate in scale bar: Keep bottom of scale bar at “0” Set subtracted fraction of scale bar to background color Image display Use same window settings for all figures Accompany fusion images (SPECT/CT, PET/CT, PET/MR) by corresponding stand-alone SPECT or PET images Limit cropping If cropping is applied, show corresponding uncropped, full-field-of-view image %IA/cm3 = percentage of injected activity per cubic centimeter of tissue.
