Flowchart demonstrating a clinically adoptable dynamic WB ¹⁸F-FDG PET acquisition protocol performed at a standard-of-care acquisition window 60 min post ¹⁸F-FDG injection for potential combined production of both K_i and noise-equivalent SUV WB PET images. The particular version consists of six WB passes, each consisting of six beds, each of 30 s acquisition, as optimized for the Siemens Biograph™ mCT TOF PET/CT system. FDG, fludeoxyglucose; PET, positron emission tomography; SUV, standardized uptake value; TOF, time-of-flight; WB, whole body.
