Typical example of SSTR-positive metastases visualized by SSTR-PET. Example of SSTR-positive MCC metastases which were displayed by SSTR-PET imaging. Corresponding CT sections are shown below the transaxial PET views. Whereas lymph node metastases can be visualized with comparable sensitivity (arrows, A, B, E, F), SSTR-PET is more sensitive for detecting bone and brain metastases as compared to CT (C, D, I, J). On the other hand, lung and liver metastases (arrows, E, F) are detected with lower sensitivity by SSTR-PET.
