Pituitary imaging using a labelled somatostatin analogue in acromegaly.
OBJECTIVE: A number of neoplasms are known to express somatostatin receptors, and the use of somatostatin receptor imaging in their localization has recently been described. We have looked at the use of an 123I-labelled Tyr3-octreotide analogue of somatostatin in the visualization and functional cha...
