Role of Somatostain-Receptor Scintigraphy with SPECT-CT in Diagnosis, Staging and Follow-Up of Patients with Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs)

#1005

Introduction: SPECT-CT study improves the certainty and accuracy of SPECT images.

Aim(s): To evaluate the diagnostic impact of SPECT-CT somatostatin-receptor scintigraphy using 99mTc-Tektrotyd in patients with NETs.

Materials and methods: Seventy-five pts with various NETs were studied; eight were with metastatic lesions from tumors of unknown primary origin (UPO). SPECT-CT studies of the neck and chest and/or abdomen were performed 2-4 hr post i.v. inj. of 99mTc-Tektrotyd.
