Key result
Macrophage-directed somatostatin receptor 2-based PET/CT using 68Ga-DOTA-TOC successfully visualized myocardial inflammation in a 54-year-old patient with cardiac sarcoidosis.
Case Report (n=1)
SSTR2A-targeted PET with 68Ga-DOTA-TOC may serve as a specific imaging tool to directly visualize myocardial inflammation in vivo for the detection of cardiac sarcoidosis.

Feasibility shown in one cardiac sarcoidosis case; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
Reiter et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Cardiac sarcoidosis (n=1). 68Ga-DOTA-TOC PET/CT was evaluated. Macrophage-directed somatostatin receptor 2-based PET/CT using 68Ga-DOTA-TOC successfully visualized myocardial inflammation in a 54-year-old patient with cardiac sarcoidosis.
