Case Report: Sixty-four-year-old female consulted Trakya University Hospital Department of Nuclear Medicine with a diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumors in her various visceral organs. Galium-68 DOTATATE PET scan was used to detect the lesions and afterwards peptide receptor radionuclide therapy with Lutetium (Lu)-177 DOTATATE was given to the patient.
