Appropriate Use Criteria for Somatostatin Receptor PET Imaging in Neuroendocrine Tumors

Abstract

Somatostatin receptor (SSTR) PET has demonstrated a significant improvement over conventional imaging (CI) in patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). SSTR PET should replace 111In-pentetreotide scintigraphy (OctreoScan; Mallinckrodt) in all indications in which the latter is currently being used
