Quantification of total tumor volume (TTV) at lutetium-177 prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)–617 SPECT/CT shows heterogeneous TTV responses between dose 1 (Cycle #1) and dose 2 (Cycle #2) in participants with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Posttherapy coronal attenuation-corrected noncontrast SPECT/CT maximum intensity projection images demonstrate (A) near-complete response in a 76-year-old man, (B) complete response in an 83-year-old man, (C) partial TTV reduction (not complete response) in a 69-year-old man, and (D) TTV increase (i.e. progressive disease) in a 74-year-old man. Blue-shaded regions represent semiautomatically segmented PSMA-avid tumor volume, with associated TTV values given at the bottom of each panel. The gradient bar shows standardized uptake value (SUV) from 0 to 5.

Example of Percentile Nomogram With Age-Adjusted BAC Quartiles. (A) Mammogram of a 56-year-old woman. There is evident BAC (pink arrow). This was quantified as a BAC score of 30 using the cmAngio tool. (B) Nomogram indicating that a BAC score of 30 places a 56-year-old woman within the 50th to 75th percentile for her age.
