18F-FDG Cardiac PET Acquisition Parameters
| Parameter | Recommendation |
| Tracer dose | 185–370 MBq (5–10 mCi), 3-dimensional mode |
| 370–555 MBq (10–15 mCi), 2-dimensional mode | |
| Delay after injection | 45–60 min (nondiabetic patients) |
| 60–90 min (diabetic patients) | |
| Patient positioning | Supine (arms-up preferred) |
| Imaging mode | 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional; list, gated, or static |
| Image duration | 10–30 min (depending on counting rate and dose) |
| Attenuation correction | Before or immediately after emission scan using radionuclide or CT transmission imaging |
| Reconstruction method | Filtered backprojection or ordered-subsets expectation maximization (iterative reconstruction) |
| Reconstructed pixel size | 2–5 mm |
