Optimizing PET/CT protocols: is 60-minute [18 F]F-FDG uptake sufficient for cardiac sarcoidosis?
FDG PET/CT with a 60-minute uptake time offers diagnostic accuracy comparable to that of a 90-minute uptake for CS detection, provided adequate myocardial suppression is achieved. Shorter uptake protocols may streamline workflow and improve patient comfort without compromising diagnostic integrity.
