18F-FDG nuclear perfusion scan
Dear colleagues,
I am not sure what they are getting at here and would appreciate your help.
Technique:
L’acquisition TEP (15 pas jointifs de vertex aux pieds) a été couplée à une TDM de correction d’atténuation à faible dose sans injection de produit de contraste.
Thank you!

15 contiguous (overlapping) steps from vertex to feet
"In whole-body PET, the patient is………………….scanned in contiguous overlapping steps through the axial field-of view of the PET tomograph."

"Whole body PET projection data are typically acquired in a number of axial steps of the tomograph bed in order to survey the whole patient".

I think 'step' (pas) refers to movement of the PET scan bed through the scanner

"By moving the bed in a true continuous motion, instead of in discrete steps...."

Anne Schulz
: I'd prefer steps over slices, as slices has a slightly different meaning in PET/CT (= 1 detector width)

15 contiguous slices from vertex to base
Explanation of FR "pas jointifs":
https://www.researchgate.net/figure/235918121_fig1_Fig-1-Res...
L’enregistrement corps entier (du vertex à la racine des cuisses) s’est effectué sur sept à neuf pas jointifs d’une durée de quatre minutes chacun, en mode 3D avec une matrice 128 x 128.
contiguous images, contiguous slices

jointif = contiguous
from vertex to base

(or) 'vertex-to-base' as an adjective

...different lengths corresponding to different vertex-to-base distances...

OK, 'vertex to feet' is probably right. I had assumed brain tomography, and was concentrating on clarifying "pas jointifs." I should have checked "aux pieds" more thoroughly.

Note from asker:
| I don't think this is completely correct: I understand this to mean 15 continuous slices from the vertex of the skull to the feet. |
Discussion
this is not a scan of the brain though.
So they must be talking about the vertex of the skull to the feet.
"Base de la crane" = base of skull.
