Imaging studies of the lung nodule at the time of hospitalisation (a, b) and 6 months after disease onset (c, d). a. Computed tomography (CT) at the time of hospitalisation. The white arrow indicates a nodule with a cavity in the upper lobe of the left lung. b. Gallium scintigraphy (67Ga-citrate) at the time of hospitalisation. The white arrow indicates high accumulation of gallium at the same location as the lung lesion. c. CT 6 months after disease onset. The lung lesion has disappeared, and a small scar remains. d. Somatostatin scintigraphy (111In-Pentetreotide) 6 months after disease onset. There is no accumulation in the left upper lobe (white arrow). The arrowhead indicates light accumulation of indium-111-radio-labelled octreotide in the mediastinum
