Abstract:
A 58-year-old man underwent DOTATATE PET/CT scan for follow-up of pulmonary neuroendocrine tumor after resection and adjuvant chemotherapy. On screening paperwork, the patient indicated having received the Johnson & Johnson/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine (Janssen Biotech, Inc) 1 day previously, administered in the right deltoid muscle. Reactive changes in regional lymph nodes is a known response for all 3 currently Food and Drug Administration-approved COVID-19 vaccines. Recent published data have demonstrated FDG PET-avid axillary lymphadenopathy subsequent to COVID-19 vaccination, and included here is a report of DOTATATE PET-avid axillary lymph node after injection of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine.

Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and put on clean gloves to maintain infection control and prevent cross-contamination.
Step 2: Prepare the patient by explaining the procedure to ensure understanding and cooperation. Ensure privacy, expose the axilla, and inform the patient that minimal movement is crucial for an accurate reading.
Step 3: Adjust the patient’s clothing to expose only the axilla. It minimizes...

01:23Detailed Structure and Function of Lymph Nodes
From a histological perspective, lymph nodes can be split into two main areas: the superficial cortex and the deep medulla. The outer cortex is populated by dendritic cells, macrophages, and B lymphocytes, which are densely packed into follicles. When these B-lymphocytes are presented...
