SPECT/CT enhances octreotide imaging
By Jonathan S. Batchelor
Indium-111-labeled octreotide imaging has shown greater accuracy than CT or MRI scans in detecting somatostatin receptor-positive neuroendocrine tumors. But anatomic localization of these tumors solely based on octreotide scans is problematic, so these procedures are usually performed with CT or MRI. A recent study suggests that SPECT/CT in octreotide imaging can provide important diagnostic information to clinicians that is unavailable with planar whole-body scans.

By Erik L. Ridley
