A 53-year-old man experienced periodic abdominal discomfort and a decreased capacity to work. His primary physician ordered a broad range of laboratory tests as part of the initial workup. The results revealed a greatly increased adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) concentration of 1250 pg/mL ( 278 pmol/L) [reference interval 46 pg/mL ( 10.2 pmol/L)]. Cortisol was within the reference interval. ...

PURPOSE In patients with a neuroendocrine tumour (NET), the extent of disease strongly influences the outcome and multidisciplinary therapeutic management. Thus, systematic analysis of the diagnostic performance of the existing staging modalities is necessary. The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic performance of 2 whole-body imaging modalities, [(68)Ga]DOTATOC positron emission to...
