Images of a 55-Year-Old Man with Deep-Vein thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism

Caption

18F-GP1 PET/CT and CT images of 55-y-old man with DVT and PE. Anterior maximum-intensity projections of 18F-GP1 PET/CT over 120 min show positive 18F-GP1 accumulation in pulmonary arteries (arrows) and in proximal (dotted arrows) and distal (arrowheads) veins of leg, which are gradually distinct on late images as 18F-GP1 activity from other organs is excreted via both urinary and hepatobiliary tracts.
