🧠 Teaching case: Diffuse pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor on octreotide imaging

Uniform, intense uptake reflects extensive somatostatin receptor expression—an uncommon but important pattern to recognize on SSTR-based imaging.

Cases like this reinforce why molecular imaging matters.

☢️ FDG Fact

A 10 mCi dose of F-18 FDG contains just ~0.18 nanograms of glucose
😊 0.00000018 mg).

That’s millions of times less than the glucose already in your blood —
yet enough to power high-impact PET imaging.

Tiny glucose. Huge diagnostic value. 🚀

Normal Biodistribution of Ga-68 PSMA on PET/CT 🧠🩺

Understanding physiologic uptake is essential before calling disease.
Ga-68 PSMA PET shows expected normal activity in:

🔹 Lacrimal & salivary glands
🔹 Liver & spleen
🔹 Small bowel (variable)
🔹 Kidneys & urinary tract (excretion-related)
🔹 Sympathetic ganglia (often overlooked!)

Recognizing these normal patterns helps avoid false positives and improves confidence in detecting true metastatic prostate cancer.

📌 Interpret uptake in the right anatomic and clinical context.
