Strange to see images from my specialty here on HN, but no. On the right hand side you have a classic planar OctreoScan (and from posterior view at that). What you have on the left side is a 68Ga-DOTA-(TOC/NOC/TATE) scan, not the new 68Ga-FAPI scan which I believe is only available in Heidelberg, Germany for now. While 68Ga-DOTA-(TOC/NOC/TATE) are probably not as good as 68Ga-FAPI (we don't know that yet, pending research) it is markedly better than OctreoScan, especially for small primary lesions, as is often the case in NETs.
