Excerpt

The diagnostic value of 18F-FDG PET is known to be limited in neuroendocrine malignancies because only poorly differentiated tumours demonstrate a markedly increased glucose metabolism [1]. 68Ga-DOTATOC is a somatostatin analogue for highly sensitive and specific PET imaging of neuroendocrine tumours, with a high affinity for the human SSTR2 [2]. It shows promising results for the evaluation of patients with metastatic disease and the selection of patients scheduled for radionuclide therapy [3]. …
