    FIGURE 1.

    Biodistribution of 175 MBq of 68Ga-OPS202 (15 μg) 1 h after injection in patient 11 with NET of ileum. Currently, patient is in complete remission. (A) Whole-body PET scan. (B) Transaxial PET/CT slice at level of dashed line in A. There is low background activity in salivary glands, liver, and intestine.

    FIGURE 2.

    Biodistribution of 188 MBq of 68Ga-OPS202 (15 μg) at 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 h after injection in patient 2 with ileal NET. PET maximum-intensity projections with constant linear gray scale show multiple liver metastases and subdiaphragmatic peritoneal deposits. Tumor and renal uptake persists over time, whereas organs such as spleen, lungs, and liver, along with urinary excretion, are progressively washed out. Tumor contrast was highest at 1 h after injection, whereas 4-h images suffer from poor count statistics. Remarkably low accumulation of 68Ga-OPS202 is seen in sst2 receptor–positive organs such as pituitary, spleen, adrenals, and uncinate process of pancreas. p.i. = after injection.
