Figure 4

68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT of a patient with an incidental accessory spleen, visible on contrast-enhanced CT images (a,b). The accessory spleen is better defined with DDG and yields higher SUVmax (30.8 on OSEM (c), 35.1 on OSEM-DDG (d), 32.4 on BSREM (e) 37.0 on BSREM-DDG (f)) and lower PET volume (10,750 mm3 on OSEM, 9320 mm3 on OSEM-DDG, 10,150 mm3 on BSREM 9130 mm3 on BSREM-DDG). Furthermore, BSREM-DDG shows better noise characteristics compared to OSEM-DDG.
