    FIGURE 1.

    Sensitivity and linearity of intensified CCD to detect CL from 18F-FDG. (A) CL imaging of multiwell plate with activity at 1 and 0.1 MBq/mL. (B) Linearity analysis of background-subtracted and decay-corrected region of interest of CL photon flux from wells using intensified CCD with settings optimized for the activity concentrations.

    FIGURE 2.

    Representative CL and PET/CT images of 18F-FDG–positive axillary lymph node. (A and B) CL scans of right and left axillae, respectively. (C) Negative CL scan in light-protected environment of right axilla without 18F-FDG–positive lymph node, overlaid with white-light photograph. No significant CL emission from 18F-FDG decay is seen. (D) White-light photograph from left axilla, overlaid with significant CL signal (B). (E) This signal colocalized with PET/CT finding.

    FIGURE 3.

    (A) Correlation graph between PET (MBq/mL max) and CL imaging count rate. (B) Box plot comparing Cerenkov emission from pathologic, PET-positive lymph nodes vs. contralateral PET-negative control, demonstrating significantly higher signal from PET-positive side.
