    • ↵* Teff of each individual ROI (organ or lesion) was available (i.e., complete listing of Teff for all patients).

    • ↵† Overall dataset (29 patients) was primarily 177Lu-DOTATATE (22 patients) but also included 177Lu-DOTATOC (7 patients).

    • ↵‡ Teff was published as median and range. For studies 3 and 9, corresponding mean and SD were calculated using method of Hozo et al. 2005 (19). For study 4, we had access to complete listing of Teff.

    • NA = not applicable.

    • Data in parentheses are range (for median) or total number of ROIs (for number of patients).
