Imaging of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors

Figure 7 Indium 111 Octreotide Planar whole-body images. A: Indium 111 Octreotide 24-h delayed anterior and posterior planar whole body images in a patient with prior resected pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma. Several abnormal tracer foci (white arrows) are seen in the peri-hepatic region, suspicious for somatostatin receptor expressing lesions. These were later confirmed as neuroendocrine nodal metastasis in the peri-hepatic and peri-gastric nodes; B: Indium 111 Octreotide 24-h delayed anterior and posterior planar whole body images in a patient with histologically confirmed neuroendocrine carcinoma of the pancreatic body. Increased tracer focus in the region of the pancreas (curved white arrow) corresponds to the primary pancreatic lesion, while multiple abnormal foci of uptake in the liver (white arrows) are in keeping with hepatic metastasis.
