Japanese researchers announced these findings during the 54th Annual Meeting of SNM, the world's largest society for molecular imaging and nuclear medicine.

The study is published in the July 5 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

A report on the study is published in the December issue of The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism.
