Figure 3 73 year old female with well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor (Ki-67 = 6%) and liver metastases with an unknown primary.
A: 68Ga DOTATATE positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) fusion and whole-body PET projection confirms multifocal hepatic metastases SUVmax 34.4 with an area of focal decreased DOTATATE avidity (arrow); B: Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT fusion and whole-body PET shows mismatched focal intense increased FDG uptake SUVmax 9.1 (arrow), suggestive of heterogeneous tumor phenotype with areas of dedifferentiation.
