Imaging neuroendocrine tumours with radiolabelled somatostatin analogues and X-ray computed tomography: a comparative study.
Various endocrine neoplasms, including a number of carcinoid and pancreatic islet cell tumours, express somatostatin receptors. These tumours may be difficult to localize using conventional techniques. Radiolabelled somatostatin analogues 123I-Tyr-3-octreotide and 111In-pentatreotide have been used...
