Résumé

Accurate QSPECT is crucial in dosimetry-based, personalized radiopharmaceutical therapy with Using up to 14 GBq of The Siemens system had a higher calibration factor (100.0 cps/MBq) and a lower dead-time constant (0.49 μs) than those from GE (75.4-87.5 cps/MBq; 1.74 μs). Activities of up to 3.3 vs. 2.3-2.7 GBq, respectively, were quantifiable by QSPECT before the observed count rate plateaued or decreased. When used in single-detector mode, the QSPECT capability of the former system increased to 5.1 GBq, whereas that of the latter two systems remained independent of the detectors activation mode. Despite similar hardware, SPECT/CT systems' response can significantly differ at high count rate, which impacts their QSPECT capability in a post-therapeutic setting.

RESULTS RESULTS
The Siemens system had a higher calibration factor (100.0 cps/MBq) and a lower dead-time constant (0.49 μs) than those from GE (75.4-87.5 cps/MBq; 1.74 μs). Activities of up to 3.3 vs. 2.3-2.7 GBq, respectively, were quantifiable by QSPECT before the observed count rate plateaued or decreased. When used in single-detector mode, the QSPECT capability of the former system increased to 5.1 GBq, whereas that of the latter two systems remained independent of the detectors activation mode.
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
Despite similar hardware, SPECT/CT systems' response can significantly differ at high count rate, which impacts their QSPECT capability in a post-therapeutic setting.
