Pre‐ and postoperative ⁶⁸Ga‐DOTATOC positron emission tomography for hormone‐secreting pituitary neuroendocrine tumours

Abstract

⁶⁸ Ga-DOTATOC PET can be used to detect thyrotroph tumours in the pre- and postoperative imaging assessment. Corticotroph tumours had a significantly lower uptake compared to the pituitary gland but without a distinct increased tumour uptake the clinical postoperative value is limited.
