HK2 expression in multiple myeloma imaging: Kircher and colleagues explore reasons for PET false-negativity with both 18F-FDG and 11C-methionine in patients with relapsed or refractory biopsy-proven and active multiple myeloma.
Page 348
PET and EGFR-targeted therapy: Burley and colleagues investigate human epidermal growth factor receptor 1–specific radioligands for measurement of EGFR expression across the entire tumor burden in head and neck cancer and for monitoring of cetuximab-mediated changes in receptor expression.

Somatostatin PET in PPGLs: Han and colleagues report on a systematic review and metaanalysis of the performance of 68Ga-DOTA–conjugated somatostatin receptor–targeting peptide PET in detection of pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas.
Page 369
PRRT in G3 neuroendocrine neoplasms: Zhang and colleagues analyze long-term outcomes, efficacy, and safety of peptide-receptor radionuclide therapy in patients with somatostatin receptor–expressing grade 3 neuroendocrine neoplasms.
Page 377
68Ga-FAPI PET/CT: Giesel and colleagues detail tissue biodistribution and preliminary dosimetry of DOTA-containing fibroblast activation protein–targeting agents in patients with various cancers.
Page 386
177Lu-Labeled minigastrin: Sauter and colleagues investigate whether a chemically stabilized analog performs better than reference analogs in cholecystokinin-2 receptor targeting in metastatic medullary thyroid cancer in basic, translational, and first-in-human studies.
Page 393
111In-DOTA-5D3 SPECT for PSMA: Banerjee and colleagues characterize this new high-affinity murine monoclonal antibody targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen using SPECT/CT imaging, tissue biodistribution studies, and dosimetry.

Cardiac PET and coronary revascularization: Gould and colleagues research the threshold of quantitative myocardial perfusion severity for association with reduced death, myocardial infarction, or stroke after revascularization within 90 days after PET.
Page 410
Clinical translation of NIR tracers: Linssen and colleagues describe their development and production process for near-infrared agents cetuximab-800CW and trastuzumab-800CW and provide a roadmap for developing monoclonal antibody tracers into regulatory-compliant drug products.
