99mTc-sulesomab immunoscintigraphy (SPECT/CT fusion images). (a) Three plane images of Patient 2, showing focal tracer uptake restricted to the subcutaneous left temporal area, corresponding to the connector site. (b) Three plane images of Patient 7, showing left chest wall focal tracer uptake, in the area corresponding to the IPG pouch. (c) Axial and coronal images of Patient 1, showing diffuse tracer uptake along the extracranial trajectory of the right electrode. (d) Coronal images of Patient 8, showing left frontal and intracranial focal areas of tracer uptake, along the path of the electrodes.
