  • F2-a Relative values. +, Very low signal; ++, low signal; +++, moderate signal; ++++, high signal; +++++, very high signal.

  • F2-b Based on literature data on the distribution and densities of radioautographic labeling obtained using sst2-preferring ligands (Reubi and Maurer, 1985; Krantic et al., 1989,1990; Martin et al., 1991; Schoeffter et al., 1995; Holloway et al., 1996).
