    Transversal PET/CT images of abdomen showing biodistribution of 68Ga-NODAGA-exendin-4 at 30, 60, 120, and 240 min after injection. (A) Tracer accumulation in Bq/mL, showing washout as well as physical decay. (B) Tracer accumulation in percentage injected dose/g of tissue, showing only washout of tracer. Kidneys are indicated by yellow arrows and pancreas by red arrows.
