[68Ga]NODAGA-R01-MG PET imaging of cervical cancer and lung cancer. a Coronal (top left), sagittal (top right) and axial (bottom left) planes of PET/CT images of a 47-year-old cervical cancer patient shows tracer accumulation in the tumor (cyan arrow). Bl, Kd, Lv, SI, Sp, and St refer to the bladder, kidneys, liver, small intestine, spleen and stomach, respectively. b H&E staining and IHC analysis confirm expression of integrin αvβ6 by the larger diffuse cancer cells. Integrin αvβ6 was not expressed by the normal cells of the cervix surrounding the tumor. Red box represents area shown at 15x magnification in image below. Scale bars on the 1x and 15x images represent 2.5 cm and 250 mm, respectively. c Coronal (left), axial (middle) and sagittal (right) planes of PET/CT Images of a 70-year-old patient diagnosed with poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the lung (SUVmean = 2.2). The cyan arrow points to the tumor. The healthy lung and heart are indicated by Ln and H, respectively
