Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: In-Pentetreotide SRS, acquired as SPECT/CT, showing high sensitivity and accuracy values, more elevated than CIP in the present study, can still have a wide employment in the routine diagnostic protocol of non-functioning GEP tumors with significant impact on patient management and therapy planning. The procedure is simple to perform, has limited cost and wide availability in all Nuclear Medicine Centers.
