1 Table 1: PET/CT and MRI protocols PET CT Preparation Patients fasted for 4h before acquisition The blood glucose level had to be less than 7 mmol/l Injection of 5 MBq/kg of 18 F-FDG PET acquisitions were carried out approximately 6min after injection N/A (acquired with the PET/CT acquisition) Technical characteristics Routine clinical image reconstruction protocols were used: for the Philips GEMINI, data were reconstructed using the RAMLA 3D (2 iterations, relaxation parameter.5) whereas for the Siemens Biograph, images were reconstructed with Fourier rebinning (FORE) followed by OSEM (2 iterations, 8 subsets). In both cases images were corrected for attenuation using the corresponding CT, reconstructed with a mm 3 voxels grid and post-filtered with a 5-mm FWHM 3D Gaussian. The CT consisted of a 64-slice multidetector-row spiral scanner with a transverse field of view of 7 mm. Standard CT parameters were used: a collimation of mm 2, pitch 1, tube voltage of 12 kv, and effective tube current of 8 ma.
