68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT is the most sensitive exam to detect well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors. Since these tumors have a low glucose consumption but high expression of somatostatine receptors (SSTR) on their surface, 68Ga-DOTATATE is superior to 18F-FDG for tumor detection. This new method has replaced the Octreotide scintigraphiy in our clinic, due to a higher sensitivity and an improved localization of the SSTR positive lesion, thanks to the CT component.

In the brain, 68Ga-DOTATATE-PET / CT is suitable for the clarification of meningiomas and meningioma recurrences, e.g. before radiation planning.
