Uptake in the pancreatic uncinate process on the 111In-octreotide scintigraphy

Background The aim of this study was to assess the relevance of physiological 111In-octreotide uptake in the head of pancreas and to establish its imaging features in comparison with pathological uptake in patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NET). Patients and methods We retrospectively reviewed all patients that underwent 111In-octreotide single-photon emission tomography (SPECT) scintigraphy in our institution. Only patients with an isolated...
