- FIGURE 1.
Female patient with 15-mm solid neoplasm (arrows) on lateral aspect of left kidney. Scintigraphy coronal view (left) demonstrates absence of 99mTc-sestamibi in place of renal tumor. Directly after SPECT acquisition, CT scan (right) was performed for anatomic correlation. Middle panel is fused coronal SPECT/CT image. Renal tumor was diagnosed as clear cell carcinoma on histopathologic grounds.

(A) All individual SUVmax measurements in solid renal tumors for both readers. (B) All individual SUVmax measurements in ipsilateral renal parenchyma. T = renal tumor; N = healthy renal parenchyma.
- FIGURE 3.
Coronal 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT/CT fused image of bilaterally healthy kidney parenchyma, with regions of uneven uptake in left kidney and more even uptake in right kidney.
