SPECT/CT fusion images and the liver surface. (A) Transaxial and (B),(C) coronal sections of SPECT/CT fusion images and (D) macroscopic view of the liver surface of a representative mouse orthotopically implanted with a line B tumor fragment. Focal 99mTcO4 uptake (white arrows; SUV = 5.71) on SPECT/CT images corresponds to tumor cell infiltration (black arrow) in the macroscopic view. Th, Stom, Ortho, Perito, and Blad (arrowheads) indicate the thyroid, stomach, orthotopically implanted primary tumor, peritoneal dissemination, and bladder, respectively. Lt, left; Rt, right.
