FLT PET: A Pilot Study in Lymphoma Patients

Each patient will receive a single intravenous injection of FDG (5.18 MBq/kg (0.14 mCi/kg)) using a minimum dose of 37 MBq (1 mCi) up to a maximum of 370 MBq (10 mCi) with an accepted 10%-20% variation since dose variation can occur when small concentrated volumes of FDG are being drawn up or radioactive decay has reduced the amount of available.

The FLT PET scan will be performed 1-5 days after FDG PET in order to ensure consistency between imaging findings. Each patient will receive a single intravenous injection of FLT (5.18 MBq/kg (0.14 mCi/kg)) using a minimum dose of 37 MBq (1 mCi) up to a maximum of 370 MBq (10 mCi) with an accepted 10%-20% variation since dose variation can occur when small concentrated volumes of FLT are being drawn up or radioactive decay has reduced the amount of available.
