Implementation of xSPECT, xSPECT bone and Broadquant from literature, clinical survey and innovative phantom study with task-based image quality assessment.

Objective: From patient and phantom studies, we aimed to highlight an original implementation process and share a two-years experience clinical feedback on xSPECT (xS), xSPECT Bone (xB) and Broadquant quantification (Siemens) for Tc-bone and Lu-NET (neuroendocrine tumors) imaging.

Methods: Firstly, we checked the relevance of implemented protocols and Broadquant module on the basis of literature and with a homogeneous phantom study respectively. Then, we described xS and xB behaviours with reconstruction parameters (10i-0mm to 40i-20mm) and optimized the protocols through a blinded survey (7 physicians).

Predicting subacute hematological toxicity of 177Lu-DOTATATE therapy using healthy organs' uptake on post-treatment quantitative SPECT: A pilot study.

The aim is to investigate the usefulness of 177Lu-DOTA-0-Tyr3-Octreotate (DOTATATE) healthy organs' (spleen, kidneys, bone marrow) standard uptake value for the prediction of subacute hematological toxicity in patients undergoing 177Lu-DOTATATE treatment. All patients referred from January 2021 to May 2022 for 177Lu-DOTATATE treatment were retrospectively screened. For each treatment session, baseline clinical data including age, sex, weight, delay between 177Lu-DOTATATE treatment and last cold somatostatin analogue intake were collected.
