Functional imaging in a SDHA-related metastatic PHEO/PGL. In this figure of a 33-year-old female patient (patient 8) demonstrating the superiority of ⁶⁸Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT in comparison to other modalities, anterior maximum intensity projection (MIP) images of ⁶⁸Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT (A), ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT (B), ¹⁸F-FDOPA PET/CT (C), and anterior planar view whole body image of ¹²³I-MIBG scintigraphy (D) scans demonstrate a large retroperitoneal tumor (arrows). The ⁶⁸Ga-DOTATATE (A) and ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT (B) scans show widespread metastases in bone and lymph nodes along with lesions in both lungs. The ⁶⁸Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT scan detects more bone lesions than ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT scan with a higher tumor uptake making the lesions on ⁶⁸Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT scan relatively more conspicuous than ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT scan. The duration between ⁶⁸Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT scan and ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT, ¹⁸F-FDOPA PET/CT, and ¹²³I-MIBG scintigraphy were 1 day, 3 days, and 2 months, respectively.
