Ga-68 DOTATATE PET/CT v. In-111-DTPA-octreotide scan

Caption

In-111-DTPA-octreotide scan (A) demonstrates recurrent mesenteric nodule (arrow) on the anterior view in a patient with a mid-gut carcinoid tumor resected 5 years previously, with no other tumor seen with planar or SPECT/CT (B) images. Ga-68 DOTATATE PET/CT anterior 3D MIP (C) and axial fused images (D) demonstrate other metastases (arrows), changing the surgical plan for resection. Findings were verified at surgery.
