Comparison of 18F-FDG and 68Ga DOTATATE PET/CT in Localization of Tumor Causing Oncogenic Osteomalacia

Abstract

Ga DOTATATE PET/CT performed better than F-FDG PET/CT and is useful in the detection of tumors causing oncogenic osteomalacia. Therefore, in clinically suspected cases of hypophosphatemic osteomalacia, Ga DOTATATE PET/CT may be performed as first-line imaging investigation to avoid delay in the treatment of this devastating but curable disease. However, further studies with large patient population are warranted to validate our data.
