Popis: Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) are rare malignancies with a wide spectrum of metastatic potential which originate from the endocrine cells of the body and express somatostatin receptors. The (68)gallium somatostatin receptor positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) technique is the most sensitive method of assessment of well-differentiated NENs and for the detection of cancer of unknown primary (CUP syndrome) NENs. Imaging with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG PET/CT) is indicated in poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas. The receptor-dependent imaging of NENs has a decisive impact on further management.
