Contribution of 111In-pentetreotide SPECT/CT imaging to conventional somatostatin receptor scintigraphy in the detection of neuroendocrine tumours

Abstract

SPECT/CT provides incremental diagnostic value over SRS, mainly because of a precise anatomical localization that helps discriminate between tumour lesions and physiological uptake. SPECT/CT may detect unsuspected lesions in a small proportion of patients.
