From a clinical point of view, thoracoabdominal SPECT/CT imaging is the preferred method for post-PRRT imaging; planar imaging had no added value over SPECT/CT in this cohort. In patients with abdominal disease only on baseline imaging, SPECT/CT of the abdomen only might be sufficient for imaging during the PRRT course. All accompanying CT images should be reviewed for additional findings, especially ascites, which is suggested to be a poor prognostic factor in patients receiving PRRT.
