Figure 2

Visual comparison between the summed image (2a), corresponding MVW-PC1 image (2b), arbitrary chosen image of MVW-PC2 (2c) and MVW-PC3 (2d). Notably, the MVW-PC2 and MVW-PC3 images represent tissues with two different and uncorrelated tracer pharmacokinetics compared to MVW-PC1 images. In MVW-PC2, the early pharmacokinetic events are displayed showing the parenchymal tracer accumulation in the kidneys. In MVW-PC3, the pharmacokinetic events are displayed and clearly demonstrate the [11C]-MTO characteristic accumulation of radioactivity in the gastric juice.
