From: Successful application of technetium-99m-labeled octreotide acetate scintigraphy in the detection of ectopic adrenocorticotropin-producing bronchial carcinoid lung tumor: a case report

Figure 3

Technetium-99m-labeled octreotide acetate scintigraphy performed in single photon emission computed tomography mode. This was conducted 3 hours after injection of 15mCi technetium-99m-labeled octreotide acetate. The scan demonstrated a focal uptake in the lower lobe of our patient's right lung, just above his diaphragm, highly suggestive of an adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-producing bronchial tumor.
