    FIGURE 1.

    68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT (A) and HRCT (B) transaxial images of IPF patient. Areas of increased tracer uptake are peripheral and subpleural and correspond to areas of fibrotic abnormalities on HRCT.

    FIGURE 2.

    68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT MIP images of healthy control (A), NSIP patient (B), and IPF patient (C). 68Ga-DOTANOC uptake is evident only in IPF, showing typical peripheral distribution. Only faint uptake is present in NSIP, and no uptake is evident in healthy lungs.
