68Ga-DOTA-D Phe1-Tyr3-Octreotide (DOTATOC)-PET/CT in a Suspected Case of Recurrent Meningioma
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a case of 45-year-old female who presented with headache for last 1 month. She was a follow-up case of left frontal meningioma that was operated 4 years back. CEMRI of the brain suggested post-surgical changes with no obvious enhancing residual/recurrent lesion. The patient was then referred for 68 Ga DOTANOC PET/CT to rule out recurrent disease. PET/CT revealed a focus of somatostatin receptor expressing lesion in the left frontal region at the post-operative site suggesting recurrent disease.

Somatostatin receptor imaging in patients with neuroendocrine tumors: not only SPECT?
In this issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine, Gabriel et al. (1) report their experience with 68Ga-labeled 1,4,7,10tetraazacyclododecane-N,N9,N99,N999tetraacetic acid-D-Phe1-Tyr3-octreotide (68Ga-DOTA-TOC) PET in a series of 84 patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NET). PET was more accurate with a higher detection rate than somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (using 111In-DOTA-TOC or 99mTc-...

Objective(s): Studies have indicated advantageous properties of [DOTA-DPhe1 , Tyr3 ] octreotide (DOTATOC) in tumor models and labeling with gallium. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer mortality in women, and most of these cancers are often an adenocarcinoma. Due to the importance of target to non-target ratios in the efficacy of diagnosis, the pharmacokinetic of 68Ga-DOTATOC in...

PURPOSE The observation that human meningioma cells strongly express somatostatin receptor (SSTR 2) was the rationale to analyze retrospectively in how far DOTATOC PET/CT is helpful to improve target volume delineation for intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). PATIENTS AND METHODS In 26 consecutive patients with preferentially skull base meningioma, diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging (M...

متن کاملEvaluation of the role of [18F]FDG-PET/CT and [68Ga]DOTATOC-PET/CT in differentiating typical and atypical pulmonary carcinoids
Pulmonary carcinoids are histologically classified into typical and atypical. It is important to identify these preoperatively for treatment planning and prognosis. Structural imaging cannot conclusively differentiate between them. The aim of this study was to assess the possibility of differentiating the 2 variants using [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET)/computed...
