Key result
68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT is a promising noninvasive imaging technique for the diagnosis of carotid body tumors, as demonstrated in a case report of a 30-year-old man.
68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT is presented as a promising noninvasive imaging technique for diagnosing carotid body tumors.
Should not yet change diagnostic practice for carotid body tumors; leaves open utility of 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT pending larger studies.
Imaging modalities like Doppler ultrasonography, contrast-enhanced computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are routinely used in the diagnosis of carotid body tumors. Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT is another promising noninvasive technique in the diagnosis of carotid body tumors. We present F-FDG PET/CT and Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT in a 30-year-old man with carotid body tumor.
