Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy and gallium scintigraphy in patients with sarcoidosis.
UNLABELLED Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS) has been shown to reveal sarcoidosis sites. The aim of this study was to prospectively compare SRS and gallium scintigraphy in the evaluation of pulmonary and extrapulmonary involvement in patients with proven sarcoidosis. METHODS Eighteen patients with biopsy-proven sarcoidosis were included. Nine were or recently had been receiving steroid...
متن کاملSomatostatin receptor scintigraphy in cutaneous malignant lymphomas.
BACKGROUND Lymphoid cells may express somatostatin receptors (SS-Rs) on their cell surface. Therefore radiolabeled somatostatin analogues may be used to visualize SS-R-positive lymphoid neoplasms in vivo. Exact staging is the basis for treatment decisions in cutaneous malignant lymphoma. We considered the possibility that SS-R scintigraphy might offer a clinically useful method of diagnostic im...
متن کاملSomatostatin receptor scintigraphy in sarcoidosis: relation to selected clinical and laboratory markers.
INTRODUCTION Discriminating between active and inactive sarcoidosis may be problematic in everyday clinical practice. There are numerous biochemical markers used in the diagnosis and monitoring of sarcoidosis. Somatostatin receptor (SR) scintigraphy with the use of 99mTc-octreotide may be used to estimate disease activity. OBJECTIVES The aim of the paper was to assess the value of traditional...
متن کاملSomatostatin-receptor scintigraphy in primary breast cancer.
Somatostatin-receptor (SS-R) scintigraphy successfully shows primary cancers and distant metastases in most patients with carcinoids, islet cells tumours, and paragangliomas. Previous in-vitro studies indicated that somatostatin receptors are present in human breast cancers. We report positive scintigraphy with [111In-DTPA-D-Phe1]-octreotide in 39 of 52 primary breast cancers (75%). Parallel in...
متن کاملSomatostatin receptor based hybrid imaging in sarcoidosis
Several diagnostic imaging methodologies are available for the clinical evaluation of sarcoidosis, but all have their limitations. FDG PET/CT is frequently used, but this technique does not provide optimal results in all cases. Novel radiopharmaceuticals aimed at other disease targets may be helpful, particularly in cardiac sarcoidosis when FDG PET/CT has a low diagnostic accuracy, due to diffi...
