Zr-89-DFO-MSTP2109A Maximum-Intensity Projections of Patients with Bone Metastases

Caption

Images were acquired 6 days after injection and are displayed at same gray scale with SUVmax of 10. Patients in upper panel (particularly patients 3 and 9) have extensive metastatic bone disease. Uptake in noninvolved bone is low and not de?nitely seen in projection images. Physiologic blood-pool activity was prominent soon after injection, and much less blood-pool activity is seen in late images in those with more extensive bony disease. Uptake in liver is partially re?ective of blood-pool activity and parenchymal accumulation. Low-level uptake is also noted in kidneys, and variable uptake is noted in bowel (intraluminal), which probably represents route of excretion.
