Peripheral and non-peripheral breast cancer images of dbPET scanned in the prone position and whole-body PET/CT scanned in the supine position. Representative clinical images of peripheral (39-year-old woman; clinical size, 12 mm; a–c) and non-peripheral (63-year-old woman; clinical size, 9 mm; d–f) breast cancers on dbPET (a, d), PET/CT (b, e), and PET (c, f) with focal FDG uptake in the background mammary gland tissue. Although the focal uptakes were visualised on both the dbPET and whole-body PET/CT images, it was obvious on dbPET with a higher TBR than that on whole-body PET/CT, regardless of the peripheral or non-peripheral location
