Description
Yuheng Zou, Hui Wang, Rong Tian and Minggang Su map normal tracer uptake in stomach lymph nodes, in this 2026 Europe PMC paper. The tracer, gallium-68 pentixafor, targets a receptor used to image blood cancers including stomach-area lymphomas. Without a map of healthy uptake, normal nodes can be mistaken for disease.
The team reviewed scans from just over one hundred twenty patients without known malignancy, grouping stomach nodes into sixteen stations. Physiological uptake was rare in nodes hugging the stomach, but common in some stations just beyond it. Reference ranges for uptake strength were set per station, and blood and inflammation measures were checked for links to uptake. The atlas should aid scan reading.
