NOTE. Only patients with bone or soft tissue lesions are included in that respective section of the table. Total lesions indicates the number of distinct anatomical lesions seen by a single modality or by the combined modalities.

Abbreviations: MIBG, metaiodobenzylguanidine; FDG-PET, [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography; Con, concordance, which indicates the fraction of anatomically distinct lesions identified on both types of scan.
