PET/CT Imaging of CLDN18.2 Expression (IMAGE)
Caption
Figure 6. (A) Patient 9 was woman with advanced gastric cancer whose CLDN18.2 expression level was 40%, 2+. Left pleural metastatic nodule (blue arrow) and thickened peritoneum (white arrow) did not show obvious uptake on 18F-FDG PET/CT, whereas 68Ga-NC-BCH PET/CT showed high uptake (SUVmax, 3.1 [red arrow] and 5.7 [green arrow]). (B) Patient 4 was man with colon cancer whose CLDN18.2 expression level was 40%, 3+. On 18F-FDG PET/CT, abdominal metastatic lymph node (white arrow) showed mild uptake, whereas same lymph nodes on 68Ga-NC-BCH PET/CT (blue arrow) showed high uptake (SUVmax, 1.4 vs. 5.6).
