Comparison of whole-body maximum-intensity projections in 6 representative patients.

Caption

Comparison of whole-body maximum-intensity projections in 6 representative patients (patients 7, 8, 11, 14, 27, and 29 from left to right). Physiologic uptake is seen at pituitary gland, salivary glands, thyroids, adrenal glands, spleen (splenectomy in patients 7 and 8), and bowel on 68Ga-DOTATATE maximum-intensity projections (top). However, these normal organs show none or very mild uptake on 68Ga-DOTA-JR11 maximum-intensity projections (bottom). In addition, 68Ga-DOTA-JR11 depicts more liver lesions than 68Ga-DOTATATE, with lower liver background.
