Conclusions:
68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT imaging can be reliably used as
an alternative to MIBG for staging and response evaluation. Impact may
be best in high risk disease. It has numerous advantages including
higher sensitivity, higher spatial resolution from PET, better image
contrast, better tumor-to-background ratio, easier patent flow, easier
patient preparation and a more favorable dosimetry profile.
Conflicts of Interest: None of the authors have any conflicts of
interest.
